Do you ever feel like you are getting worse?

[nats]

when we get out beyond a certain stress level everything starts to feel like its unraveling inside, everyone gets noisy, and it starts to feel crowded again. we're past that level now, as we were a lot back in the day, and presumably when external things calm down so will internal things. so, i don't think worse, but certainly we notice the discomfort and camaraderie, which used to be normal when we all thrived on external chaos, a lot more since it's much less common now... this probably doesn't make sense. basically, stress can make anyone feel crazy and you've been dealing with a lot of stressful things! hang in there..
