What will the impact be on my body?

[MyFaceIsStuck]

I'm mid 30s, have been through/going through a major stressful life event (can divulge more than this) and I used to feel younger than my age mentally, but now I feel very much older on the inside /mentally for my body's actual chronological age. I feel inside as if I'm approaching 50! I suppose it's mental exhaustion. The effect it's had on me is like somethings tried to kill me and I barely made it out alive, like I've been mortally wounded and it's touch and go if I'll get back on my feet again.
What do you think this sort of thing will do to me? Stress really is a killer.

A lot changed for me mid thirties and when people would ask my age I’d have to not say I was 45! Yes it is, look after yourself and those around you op, hope you get a break and to take a breath x

You sound burnt out you poor thing.

The body is good at bouncing back, as long as you give it a chance to rest.

Can you plan a year in which you take care of your mental and physical health, and dial back a bit on work/care responsibilities ?

@theduchessofspork sadly not, bills to pay and all that, can't really send my toddler to a boarding nursery school either ... not that I'd want to! Tbf it's a huge business opportunity for someone...😜
