It really does take a while... Had a 9-month breakdown during the Pandemic, that one was exclusively for mental health care. I literally locked myself in my apartment and did nothing but eat, sleep, play vidya, get high, and have weekly therapy sessions for the entire duration.
It took 8 months to stop being anxious about not being stressed out. Used to wake up every morning with that sharp fear that I'd missed my daily meetings, then it would slowly turn into an "oh, shit, I'm not being Productive" jumble of self-loathing and panic.
