"Back to normal" anxiety is more common than you might think... (https://www.menshealth.com/health/a35841363/return-of-anxiety-fomo/?utm_source=pocket&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pockethits)

Shutdown orders of pretty much everything for the past year managed to shut down something plenty of guys didn’t miss: anxiety. Without events, parties, meetings, and must-see places to miss out on, FOMO—the Fear of Missing Out—was wiped out, too. In my psychiatry practice, I saw more people than ever who were struggling with feeling isolated, and I saw plenty of new cases of depression and anxiety. But none of my patients ever complained about FOMO. Now that the world is turning on again, FOMO is returning with a vengeance, and it’s freaking a lot of guys out.
FOMO isn’t an official psychiatric diagnosis, but it may as well be, because I hear patients describe symptoms of it all the time. It’s when you feel that you always have to be connected, or plugged into what’s happening around you, and when you’re not, you feel like you’re falling behind, in life or at work.
