Such a good point about the hormones. I feel like I definitely feel like I'm having some kind of hormonal shift, even during stable times. Stress is a factor. When I went through a divorce I ended up in outpatient for a good while. This episode was preceded by severe problems at work that led me to quit, feeling I couldn't go on any more. People kept quitting and instead of rehiring they would put the work of the former employers on me. As a single mom with Dad MIA, there's obviously a lot of stress there too. I'm feeling better today so I think the first thing I will work on, as an unemployed person, is strategies for lowering stress and finding work that is not so demanding. (And soul sucking). I so appreciate you all.
