I woke up in the middle of the night and had some pretty bad shits. There was nothing other than increased stress that I could pinpoint to being the cause.
I’ve also been feeling stressed in a different way than usual. It’s hard to describe, but normally, my stress and anxiety are more pronounced and up front. Whereas lately, it’s just been this dull, never-ending feeling in my core. My body just feels exhausted. My heart rate has also been uncomfortably noticeable in my chest as well. However, I’ve checked it out a couple of times, and it’s not racing, and it doesn’t feel like palpitations.
I’m assuming it just has to be all stress related. Money has been increasingly tight lately. Like many, my job hasn’t been providing salary increases to even match inflation. I’m supporting my parents and we will have to move before the end of the year because it’s too expensive to live in this home now. My dog might have cancer, and vet bills have been expensive. So we’re just treading water at this point. We’re sqeezing by, but it’s all just a lot.
I think my body has not been dealing with stress well recently. It’s reacting in weird ways that are new to me.
I’ve been taking small wins as they come! I just need to hang on for another month and a bit and then I get to take some vacation time.
Like what?
TMI incoming
