We've just been studying this in my human diseases class. And the experts say yes! And overload of stress can make you sick.
Is there anyway you can get a break? Even if it is just for an hour or so each day? Or one day a week? Time alone to enjoy a favorite activity, or just to enjoy peace and quiet.
My kids were always in bed alseep by 7:30pm. Clear up til high school. From their bedtime til I went to sleep was MY time. Living with difficult children I needed that time to wind down and get ready to rest. And I'm back to doing this now that I'm in school, unless I have a huge test. It helps tons.
Hang in there
