People aren't trying to say loss of smell is just anxiety. They are try to say that anxiety can just be anxiety (The thought of covid itself can cause anxiety), so some of the reported symptoms are dubious. The one that can be tested more objectively have much less room for dispute (processing speed, attention, executive function, and memory). Hope your smell returns sooner rather than later. My mom has been without hers for 9 months now, which seems to be in the rather unlucky category.
