Anne, I'm glad the two guys are doing better.😀😀😀

Now about you...it's good you have some options. But let me add my own experience. Like you I had my ways of handling stress, and they never failed. Until some prolonged life events and work circumstances. My hustand finally convinced me to see our doctor, who reassured me I was doing well overall but I was no longer as young as I once was and that my stressors were indeed serious and likely to continue for a while (mom's illnesses, workload, menopause, etc.). She said my body needed help. My anxiety was getting the better of me -- so she started me on 10mg Lexapro. It has helped so much. I had been relunctant to take this step, but she reassured me that it was simply my body being worn down from the stress and that intensified my anxiety.

Now I'm older than you, but the message is that sometimes our bodies take a toll, and we need more help. That's all I will say.
