Sounds like you've got the released worker version of Post Traumatic Stress there.... after being all pent up whilst being at work, you've been released from work and you're de-stressing at a furious rate. Body has decided it can't cope with it and has shut down a few things whilst it copes (bit like task manager asking you to shut down things when you run short on memory). It's a well documented fact that people under stress suffer more immediately it's removed. I get a migraine every first day of my holidays. People suffering stress at work are often worse at weekends, especially Sundays, when they have to pyche themselves up for Mondays. We've had a sudden spate of illness at work this week, and I feel like shite because we were told Thursday last, that our bullying boss is not coming back to my department. Everyone is so relieved, they just all let go and it took it's toll. My autumnal insomnia has come 2 weeks early and it's only now I'm recognising it as a symptom of de-stressing. Now I realise that, it's easier to manage. I'm doing my usual anti-stress things (painting, watching movies, listening to music, beating the crap out of small furry animals....) and it's working slowly.

Your allergies are probably the result of you de-stressing; be careful, treat the symptoms but don't overdo it, you may remove any resistance you'd built up.

Take care dear, relax, chill out, take some time to do something for yourself, and put earwax on your fingers. It should stop you chewing them. Failing that, keep them on a keyboard (computer or music, it doesn't matter) and keep them busy... type out all those songs on bits of paper... work out how to use another program, find out how the Blue Clickies work, anything to stop them going in your mouth!
