Exhaustion after a stressful life change……what’s normal?

[WhatDidYouThink]

I’ve had a stressful few months with being made redundant unexpectedly and finding a new job.

I’m just not really feeling my usual self and am so exhausted and drained, despite sleeping well at night.

What’s normal when it comes to this sort of emotional exhaustion? I just want to feel back to how I usually do.

I'm really sorry to hear you feel so exhausted. Obviously I don't know you, but what you describe sounds normal to me. Normal in a wider sense because we all have different levels of what we find exhausting.

it takes a while to get over this

It can take a while. Are you eating properly and getting plenty of exercise?

Thank you all for replying. It’s really shocked me how physically I’ve felt the stress in my body.

Yes, I’m exercising and eating well, as I usually do. Also trying to rest when I can. I’ll just give myself more time.
