Seems the original version isn't up anymore but the source code is still on github.

Nova Launcher, one of the most popular Android home screen replacements, is basically dead
Not FOSS, but the one that got me to let go of Nova was Octopi Launcher.
Very close to a drop in replacement, brings most of the features and customizability that I got very used to.

Fear of text notifications
You might get some relief from changing your notification sound/vibration pattern to something that wasn't used during those times, or even use a separate messaging app for day to day communication to tone down those triggers.
If your wife is up to it, you could even reserve actual phone calls for critical things to reassure yourself the regular notifications are "safe".
To maker her not feel at fault it might be possible to spin it as her supporting you, so she's doing a positive thing instead of trying to avoid it.
Unless of course the fact you're getting contacted while away at all is a problem, I hope that would be something you can work through with time and practice.
I am glad you're doing better and hope that trend continues upwards!

Introducing Octopi Launcher - Now in Open Beta!
Coming from Nova, this looks like a launcher bringing some of the same intuitive navigation and handling that make me consider switching.
Drawer style needs some getting used to, missing quickly accessible categories (tabs) but I might come to an arrangement with folders on top.
Home screen gestures feel limited with up and right but no down, double finger swipe or twist. Swipe right from first screen (=left most, could be communicated better I think) feels odd, especially in a configuration with screens on both sides of home it loses some of the quick access utility.
Swipe actions per screen apparently means physical one although I can't confirm that with a traditional brick. I was hoping it would be per page to offset the point above.
Swipe actions on app icons on home, but not on folders seems odd to me. Missing folder behavior like tap to launch first, swipe (up|down) to (open|shortcut) Found it in settings but seems to be global instead of per folder?
App drawer search feels a bit clunky, button on the lower right is hard to reach, start search always shows and costs screen space. Swipe down to search while in the drawer was a nice touch in Nova I miss here. Edit: home screen gesture swipe opens app search so that's an option I'm using for now even tho it costs an additional home gesture slot.
Edit: having both show search and easy reach active seems really silly since the keyboard overlaps 80% immediately.
Drawer scaling could do with a preview or be available alongside the column and display style menu.
Drawer a-z list scrolling feels gooood, with the haptic feedback and quick preview. Nice work!
Got a bug tho: if a letter only has a single app and it ends up on the right column in a 2 column list layout the drawer scrolls to far and it ends up above the viewport.
Widgets stacks are neat but not sure of a good use case yet since I mostly want my widget contents to be available at a glance. Autoscroll is cool but a bit busy. Might get back to that at some point tho.

Try one alarm not on the full hour but 3 to 5 min late. This makes you feel you have to get up because it's your only chance and your buffer is already gone so no excuses.
Also loud and out of reach so you have to get up to shut it off

Try a few(!, as in, 3-5 single grains) of salt to reduce acidity. For body you could try French press or mesh filtered, gets more chewy mouthfeel but that's a coin flip if you might like it or not.
