Sounds like intended behavior. Instead of keeping working in shitty motivation loop (stress builds up so I will eventually get the stuff done), maybe changing habits a bit around your new me would be a better move, like doing tasks proactively as they come? Triple that if you were being cured for anxiety itself.

You got the chance for a more chill life compared to obviously more stressed one and you threw it away as 'too nice won't bother trying it'.
