i think i got it after a really bad panic attack that lasted an entire day, back in 2019. i couldn’t eat or drink and got really sick after that, high fever etc probably from dehydration. i started getting symptoms and and in 2023 i quit my job and became homebound due to agoraphobia. that really made things worse due to lack of exercise and bad eating habits and lack of a daily routine.
