Most people wake up at 3:00AM because our body shifts from deeper sleep to lighter sleep i.e REM sleep

I'm really struggling with something and could use some advice. I've been in a relationship for almost 10 years, and I'm deeply in love with her, but lately things have been off. Communication has been bad, and two years ago, something changed, but we never talked about it. I recently heard she's getting married, but then she said it was called off because her parents wouldn't agree. It's leaving me feeling really lost. I'm super emotional and can't seem to focus on anything else. The idea of losing her is just too much. How do I deal with this situation and the depression thats coming with it? I feel like I can't move forward. What should I do?

Question

I'm really anxious about something and need some advice. I know that rabies has a long incubation period, and if you get the vaccine before symptoms show up, you're usually okay. But, if the virus reaches the brain, symptoms start, right? So here's my situation: a dog bit me back in 2001 or 2002, just a little bit, and I didn't get the rabies vaccine at that time. Then years later, in 2008, I freaked out and got three vaccines, and in total, I've had 17 vaccines from 2008 to 2012. But I still can't shake off the anxiety about that old dog bite and the fear of potentially getting rabies someday is really messing with my life. Can I still get rabies in the future? If there's a risk, what can I do to protect myself? And if there's no risk, I really need some reassurance because this worry is making me super stressed.
