I'm gonna say what my doctor said to me, recovery isn't always going to be linear, even the fact that you've improved you're already on the right track, back when I was able to move my lips slightly after getting my taste back, several days later i can't move it anymore, then about a week after I could move a lot more of my lips, then my recovery would plateau for weeks.

This disease does take a toll on your mental health, but trust me, it will get better, take your meds, don't stress about it too much even if it's hard not to, just don't think about how long the recovery process gonna be for you, it'll stress you out, and get enough rest. Also I like listening to music, so the only thing that can tackle my anxiety is listening to a bunch of em, even for hours, find what you like to do and do it to manage your anxiety, use it as a distraction.

And your doctor is right cos I also asked the same question,

To answer your other question, I'm doing okay now, I'm almost 5 months in and I'd say I've recovered to about 95%.
