The sleep is most likely due to one of two things:
- You have no depression and your anxiety wears you out mentally, thus you sleep, or
- You have depression, and depression is the answer to your over sleeping patterns.
Isn't it strange how we perceive people from within our past who have done something that was not within our best interests, in that when we move into not trusting them, generally because they have done bad, we then also perceive that trust issue into them doing anything good for us also. Good is good, bad is bad, yet our not trusting them moves our minds into both realms, regardless how they let us down.
Your trust issue is normal, and to be quite honest, nobody can tell you to trust a person, instead only you can determine that at all times. If you don't feel you can trust someone, then you don't have too. The only problem that ever is concerning, is when you have anger towards a person, because even though you may feel that response is required, the problem is, is that the effects that anger have upon us is through deterioration of ourselves, not the person we direct anger towards. This is why we must always mind the emotions below anger, where anger is the emotional response, and not an emotion itself. There are far better means to hurt people than by hurting ourselves in the process through anger, which means increased stress and anxiety...
What you feel though is normal. It just means you are human.
