I was fraught and upset and was at my wit’s end.

Hi all

Could I use two and's in a piece of story writing like this?

I was fraught and upset and was at my wit’s end.

Thank you.

There's no trouble with the "and"s but you/re not using "fraught" correctly. (Though it's a fairly common mistake.) "Fraught"essentially means "Filled with (something unpleasant)". So a situation can be "fraught with danger," but you can't just describe something or someone as "fraught."
