Its strange, when the BD hit one of the reasons the W gave was the added stress from the M was making her sick, the past 18 months after her health is not much better, sometimes she hits very high highs .. but goes down to very low lows.
I have posted here my observation on the lack of sleep they get, the added stress from the destruction they have caused, plus throw in the rampant confusion ... its no wonder they struggle with health and come down with the flu or colds very easily.
As far as you emotions, I can relate... its that feeling of being on the rapids for a few terrifying hours and you find yourself on a peaceful river ... but you hear the rapids forming again downstream and find yourself not really ready to go through that just yet.
