Sounds very trying.
I hope you are healthy, without any cancer relapse.
Sounds like you and your doctor will check this out.

I know of many people with PTSD (and/or other conditions) experience a relapse, to some degree in their condition because of the stress/anxiety related to moving and/or leaving a job. These are considered major life stressors.

Whether it's an increase in generalized stress and/or actual triggers are involved we can experience high anxiety and/or a PTSD relapse.

It might be helpful to discern if there are specific triggers related to past trauma. The exact trigger(s) depends upon the nature of our trauma(s) and the age(s) at which we've experienced trauma(s), etc.

If you are feeling anxious, this may be a time to use more tools for decreasing anxiety/increasing inner calmness. You may also benefit from a medication during this time if you need additional assistance.

Either way, sleep is an important indicator to monitor. Chronic sleep disturbance usually indicates the need for an intervention, in many conditions. Sleep is a helpful "target" for an intervention. Often, if/when we can successfully treat the sleep disturbance asap, the relapse is less apt to continue to "snowball" or to continue into a downward spiral.

It's quite possible you may need additional tools/interventions while you adjust/adapt to the life changes. This may or may not include using meds for the interim -- which is certainly a personal decision.

There are many ways to improve sleep.

Wishing you inner peace, comfort, joy.
