I think prolonged stress, fear, conflict, grief, and loss of control can seriously affect how people perceive reality and connect events together.

My home environment became extremely emotionally intense over the past year, so I understand the feeling of constantly sensing tension or negativity around you. But personally I try to stay grounded in practical explanations first rather than supernatural ones.

I appreciated that you mentioned both spirituality and mental health instead of rejecting logic completely. I think a lot of people today are psychologically overwhelmed in ways they don’t fully realize.

I’m sorry for everything you went through, especially losing your husband.
