Reason I say is because I’ve been in a state of panic and worry for my whole taper every day for 3 years. Added stress of divorce can’t be dad. Nothing left. My cortisol stays severely high wich accounts for the severe insanity feeling at all times.  Help.

You aren’t alone, I just got back blood test results indicating I have very high cortisol levels. I too have many external stressors dominating my life. These results have me terrified of Cushings, but also don’t think I can handle the stress of additional diagnostics right now. I don’t know if this is normal (I’m 2/3 through my taper) or if this needs to be addressed urgently.
 

Did you end up pursuing diagnostics for Cushings?
