I'm glad you made it through! Do you mind me asking what caused and cured it, if you ever found out? I've always struggled with both anxiety and sleep, and I find this stuff really interesting.

Thanks! Very long story short for the sake of anonymity: work-related stress and harassment. The day I left my job of many years (without a plan or follow-up), it suddenly went away. I have sleep disorders on top of that, but they're manageable in comparison
