I can relate to this, Fharriage. (((( hugs ))))
I was in very high stress work, too. (Emergency services.)
Lots of friends. Avid athlete. Traveled a lot, etc. Nothing phased me.
My initial disability was physical/medical (autoimmune); however, the rest came crashing in shortly thereafter, as I was exhausted and had no more reserves for keeping up my defenses of any type.
