This use of raw is usually used with feelings. Her feelings were raw from the loss of her mother.
Her feelings were a bit raw from lack of sleep....this one is a little bit less natural. Maybe they could be, but I am not feeling it.
Perhaps her feelings are raw from lack of sleep because her mother died, but feelings usually get raw from something bad or sad happening.
The idea of raw feelings is that they are strong and torn up and out in the open.

Not entirely sure. It seems like an unnatural use of the word raw. If I had to guess I’d say it means weak or fatigued (tired) in some way.
