More likely burnout, I started burning out easier and getting signs of anxiety in mid forties. Vacations didn't seem to help, but 3 month leave of absence and staying away from computer work and hobbies and getting outdoors instead sure did.

I tried running and taking walks. But even during that time I think about work.

Sometimes I feel even more anxious after a walk. Does that make any sense?

I think you really need the time away and focus on your health. 2 weeks breaks weren't enough as took me at least a week to not think about work, but then second was just dreading going back...
