Based on your description of feeling tired and irritable even after the clean-up is finished and not feeling stressed, you could be experiencing the exhaustion stage. This stage occurs after prolonged exposure to stressors, where the body and mind become fatigued, leading to irritability and tiredness as a result of having dealt with ongoing stress.
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?
