When you made your career on toughness and your corner starts throwing in the towel it’s time to retire

Thought I was mostly normal my entire life. looking back anytime anything bad happened to me I just bottled it up and tried to act normal. In moments where normally someone would use emotions to deal with things I would just freeze up and go numb. I should have learned to deal with things properly. instead after 27 years of just bottling things up I reached a breaking point after moving across the country away from family, pushing myself too hard at work, having covid and then taking a stimulating medication. All of this pushed me over the edge into severe 24/7 DP/DR... Not sure what to do.
