I was also worried because my family was uninsured. I have medicare so I was partially covered. My son had chest pain the day after our insurance ended so we got a big bill for that. Things confuse and fluster me pretty easily so anything out of the ordinary really messes me up. I basically held up because I had to. I wonder if I am crashing because I can relax a little. Everything was held behind a dam and now it is threatening to flood the village below.

The type and amount of stress one can handle and be okay is different for everyone. I may find crowds stressful, but you may love them- that kind of thing. I find the most damaging type of stress I can have is the type that makes me worry for any extended amount of time....
Also, "crashing" per se can be because you need a med adjustment, are out of balance, aren't sleeping well, so many reasons really. Try to focus your attention away from it by listening to music, play a puzzle, read, so on. I don't mean to simplify it by any means, however what we "focus on" expands...
