Sounds more like generalized anxiety to be honest with you. I'm guessing you have always had some trouble with sleep and mild stress management, but you were experiencing a lot of life stressors around the time that you had that more severe episode. If you were prescribed the Cymbalta by a general practitioner, I suggest you consult with a psychiatrist before discontinuing it. A psychiatrist is generally going to be a lot better at considering your history, listening to your concerns and goals, and prescribing something that more accurately targets your symptoms.

To a degree. A real job and two small kids remedied that though.

mild stress management,
I am usually as laid back as it gets, to a fault at times.

The episode stemmed from a irrational incident where I convinced myself I had a brain eating amoeba and was going to die imminently that for some reason I couldn't shake long after I knew that wasn't true. Otherwise it was during the summer, I am a teacher, and had zero stress.
