How to manage the waiting time for hospital admission

The clinic only handles a few patients at a time, and admission is independent of weight or severity (rightly so). I waited too long to get on the waiting list, and now I'm exhausted, but the wait will be four months. It's only been a week, and I'm going crazy with anxiety. Any advice on how to handle things in the meantime?

They offered me a six-month hospital stay. I did a three-month one last year, but it wasn't enough. I'm not at my worst weight, and I think I could wait eight months to avoid any consequences at work. In fact, my boss will kill me if I stop working again this year. But I'm afraid of pushing it too far (I've already had very serious consequences in the past). I'm also worried about regaining weight in the hospital, which is very quick: if I regained it at home, would I perhaps gain it back better? I'd like to continue working even while in the hospital (I work remotely), but my contract doesn't allow it (so I'd also be without a salary during those months).
