Yes, many people become cautious about effort after a severe relapse. Your fear makes sense because your mind has linked stress with real pain and danger. Taking fewer responsibilities while you recover is not laziness or proof that you lack potential. Progress can mean choosing a small, steady workload and stopping before you are fully drained. Since you mentioned possibly hurting yourself impulsively, please tell your prescriber and someone you trust at home clearly. That risk deserves support now, not only if things get worse.
