Re: How long do anxiety/stress symptoms last after anxiety goes away?
From my experience after a highly stressful period or even a breakdown, it can take up to a month for me to fully bounce back and be rid of either all or most of the physical and mental symptoms caused by the stress or breakdown. I do notice though, every day I get better and better. It might not be mega obvious but little things I notice and over the days they build up and build up and I focus on that instead of "I'll never be better again"
