      sleep is a huge one. stress about the world being on fire. stress about my own physical health issues. stress about the decline of my rapidly aging parents. but if we’re not getting enough sleep, then stress about everything is worse.

      i’m just profoundly thankful that my job is relatively stress-free–even if i get no sleep, i can get through most days unscathed by any drama/bureaucracy/bullshit that plagues most jobs

      Woah, same. I have a hard time even making it to doctor’s appointments, which makes it kind of a catch22. Not that doctors have been any use for that specific issue, but I have many other issues …

      Though it’s a bit difficult to say which is mental and which is physical. In general, my IBS causes me the most distress, and my doctors haven’t found any physical cause. At the very least, I believe that it’s a knock-on effect of my insomnia and the associated bad eating+drinking habits.
