Sufferer I feel like I’m losing my mind. Stress has caused a huge flair-up of everything.

Do you take any medication? It can help with sleep and nightmares.

I get it @Needwings4 . You need to dial the stress back.

Are you working? Can you walk, run or swim? Do you dance? Can you do an errand for someone? Can you do something for your H? Are you getting dressed, bathing? Are there any places of refuge?

Not currently. In the past I’ve tried them all, including Prazosin but nothing helped.

I am working. Not well though lol. I’m a nurse and completely burnt out. I can’t not work though because my husband just quit his job without discussing with me and has no plan. So I’m covering everything now.
I know I need to do something enjoyable for stress relief but nothing is enjoyable lately. I’m barely managing bathing at this point.
Sorry I’m such a negative Nancy lol

Nothing to be sorry for @Needwings4 . Just sounds like you have to get back to basics, esp considering the stress you and your H are both under.
