I'm feeling it too and I'm really hearing you. You absolutely aren't offending anyone with this post, though. It's really hard to be working so hard to get better and then suddenly have to cut back because of a crisis. That alone, all the what-ifs, are really, really hard to cope with, especially for people who have already experiences trauma before. Our brains are taking this as a threat, and for good reason, but when you add chronic stress to that, the reactions can feel extreme. We've already got way too much in our stress cups before this happened. And that's down to the nightmares, too. I'm not sure if you've seen them yet, but plenty of studies have been coming out lately showing how vivid and uncomfortable dreams have gotten for people, including people who hadn't had as much trauma in their lives as many of us here do. How have you been doing since you first posted this? :hug:</blockquote>
