I know just what you are talking about. It is most likely a stress reaction, because it was a very common thing here in the last few years. The Red River Valley Flood of 1997 changed the lives of thousands of people in just a short time. It all seemed so nightmarish even as we sandbagged, evacuated, and returned to homes filled with stinking debris to be hauled, load after heavy load to the curb. I was one of the fortunate few whose homes escaped serious damage, but my support systems were scattered to goodness knew where. Our recovery is continuing today as are our fears. They are beginning to predict an even bigger one this Spring.
I also know that you can feel better. See your Doctor about medication and find a good counselor to talk to. This amount of stress can become really toxic if neglected. Dealing with it now would be a wise thing to do.
