Based on the description you provided, it sounds like you could be experiencing the exhaustion stage of stress. This stage occurs after prolonged exposure to stressors, even if the immediate crisis has passed. The fatigue and irritability you're feeling can be indicative of this stage as your body and mind are still recovering from the stress of the flooding and the subsequent clean-up.
Your family’s home just flooded from a bad storm, but the clean-up is finished and things are finally getting back to normal. You don’t feel stressed, but you are still so tired and irritable all the time. Which reaction to stress could you be experiencing?
