Are you stressed?

Stress manifests itself in your thinking, emotional well-being, and body. It tends to impact your body through hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) and a person is often left feeling defeated, drained, and exhausted, and may begin experiencing negative thoughts.

The following are some typical signs and symptoms of a stress response. If you are experiencing stressful situations, it is important to recognize these signals early:

• Persistent worry or anxiety
• Difficulty concentrating or racing thoughts
• Irritability or mood swings
• Physical symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, or fatigue
• Changes in sleep or appetite
