Hi @jrn
Thank you for sharing. That sounds difficult, it’s understandable to feel confused and overwhelmed.
You also mentioned it’s been a stressful time, I acknowledge stress can have a big impact. It’s great you are reaching out and sharing, you aren’t alone in this, there is care, support and people that can help.
When noticing changes like this, it can help to check in with a healthcare professional, such as a GP. They can help make sense of what’s happening, provide any relevant health related assessments or treatment, and provide extra support. It can also help to share how you’re feeling with someone you trust, like a partner, family member, or friend, whatever feels comfortable to you.
If you feel it would be helpful to speak with someone on the phone, there are also free services available:
