Light at the end of the tunnel

[Core]

My guess here U, is that biologically you had a level of stress and cortisol flowing through you for so long that your body adapted to it and it became normal. I wouldn't be surprised if your body randomly kicks out a little or you subconsciously look for a stressor to get back to baseline. It'll take time for the body to adjust. I've found myself doing this with anxiety over the years. I realize it on peaceful days when I tell myself, "I should be worried about x". No the F, I shouldnt, its just the body used to its new homeostasis.

I think Mumin may be on to something as well. You worked darned hard at what you had to do. You were driven, focused and now that battles over. Warriors long to go back to battle. Prisoners miss jail. Performers miss the rush of the stage. Your body may be missing the exhausting nature of the last few months.
