So i find myself in this interesting situation after having struggled a few years where i've had a few stressful jobs (web developer) and rather demanding university studies.
I had some kind of burnout (or long covid, don't really know) last year and have been slowly recovering to the point that i can function again. But i still need to make money, as well as finish my university studies, but i find myself becoming very anxious in front of a computer.
So when i'm doing any sort of work (play is mostly ok if not for too long) in front of a screen i'll start tensing up my core and face muscles and stop breathing properly, which kind of puts me back in a non functioning state after a few hours and i'll need a day or two of not touching a computer to recover.
Has anyone been through this and know how to recover?
As for what i'm already doing to get back to normal: I eat super clean these days (anti inflammatory, keto as well as probiotics). I'm also in fairly good shape (cardio wise) and run or bike every day, do yoga and meditate every morning/night and spend as much time outdoors as i possibly can. I also sleep until i wake up by myself so i should get all the sleep i need i suppose.
I suppose therapy is one way, but i find myself barely making enough money to get by and the free healthcare i have access to don't really help much. Currently looking into reading some books on CBT hoping maybe that can help.
