(@marcslifer Thank you for that suggestion, I will give that a try! This week has not been a good week, I have had generalized total body anxiety (muscle tight, headache/brain aches, stomach issues) to the point that I had to take Xanax to try to quiet down my nervous system.

Further clarification: I started out reacting to feelings of anxiety by, 1) trying to identify a source of that anxiety (usually nothing), and 2) trying to control what I was feeling. I now realize that the anxiety is a "free standing" symptom of long covid (at least for me) and that the best way to handle it is to try and live with it like a bad back.
