Mild Cognitive Impairment and Stress

May 5, 2019 (Chapter 11 Stress and Anxiety in my book)

A couple weeks ago, I was having a lot of added stress and trouble sleeping. It is related to an ex-boyfriend who I broke up with about two years ago. He is still contacting me even though I have ignored him! I went to the courthouse and I filled out papers to put in place a "no contact order".

While this drama is going on in my life, I am having bad dreams related to all of this drama! The dreams are happening at least once a week and sometimes more than that. One night I woke up during one of these dreams. I sat up in my bed and I let out a scream! Then I looked to my left and I saw a shadowy figure and they were lightly giving me a hug. I could feel the light touch across my shoulders. I thought that it was an angel. I was able to go back to sleep. The stress of my ex-boyfriend contacting me and these terrible dreams have increased my mild cognitive impairment symptoms. I am not happy about this!
