Yes, I think this could be real. I've heard about body stressors such as highly poisonous spider bites impacting health and balance for a long time. Seems to me the same could be true with physical or emotional trauma.

Additionally, I know that stress, physical and mental, are a factor in my sleep quality and weight loss journey.

That said, I think eating a good balance of calories and food (with accurate logging ) would help your body and/mind recover, eventually despite no weight loss. So maybe find a healthy balance and stick to it if for no other reason than your long-term recovery. Also discuss with a dr., maybe several, including alternative practioners - therapists, chiropractors, etc.
