Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that.

Good luck.
from work, but have needed up to a week off due to anxiety using my sick time that required a doctors note, my doctor wrote ambiguously that due to illness I needed that time off.

Keeping a regular work routine is actually better for your well-being as you make your way to a better balance.
Anxiety is natural. It's learning how to make it work for you that takes a lot of effort and determination.
Panic attack...practice even breathing, focus on "in the moment" tasks, and keep on going.
Best wishes.
