@outlander - stress, worry and/or past trauma effects memthe same way - having nightmares where I either can't sleep but the quality is so poor because of it, I wake up tired. I had to take something for it for awhile just recently which helped. Do you find meds helpful at all when experiencing this? It really is taxing on the mind and body and I worry for you.
We have bought some land 5 mins up the road on the ocean to build a new house on - it's exciting but all the cofuffle leading up to it is extremely stressful. The last few days my husband has been sick, my daughter had to return home after another abusive relation with someone and a couple of people whom I thought were friends hurt me. I do have a lot of friends and I am lucky there, but it still hurts.
It is in its 40s here too, they predict a heatwave. Do you see a trauma counsellor about your nightmares? I do hope you get some sleep tonight. I feel for you
