I use box breathing to combat the panic attacks that I get when I am on my meds too long. Never thought about using it to “reset”. To be honest, it sounds like you are doing mini meditation sessions (which also helps if you can learn to hyper focus on nothing).

He was Jay walking.

That it’s all a cycle.

I feel you! Where I live now its like pulling teeth to get my meds. My PCP won’t try different meds because he wants a therapist to prescribe something new. So, I get hit with panic attacks and crippling anxiety. That’s when I can get my meds.

My doc requires that I come in every month to refill my meds. The fun part is that he is booked out 3 months and they refuse to set a reoccurring appointment. So, I end up going months without meds. Even if they prescribe enough to make it through the 3 months, I wouldn’t be able to get it filled because the state limits how much can be filled. Not to mention constant issues with supply shortages.

It just fucking sucks. You aren’t alone.
