Understanding Stress
Stress is a normal physical and emotional response to a perceived threat or demand. It's a natural reaction that helps your body respond to challenges, but poorly managed stress can impact every area of your life, from relationships to work performance. When you experience stress, your body's "fight or flight" response is triggered, releasing stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.
Recognising the symptoms of stress
Stress can manifest in various ways, impacting your emotions, thoughts, and physical well-being. Recognising the signs is the first step toward seeking help:
Irritability or mood swings: Feeling short-tempered, snappish, or experiencing sudden shifts in emotions.
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions: Struggling to focus, prioritize tasks, or make decisions due to a racing mind or feeling overwhelmed.
Changes in appetite: Experiencing changes in eating habits such as loss of appetite, binge eating or comfort eating.
Changes in sleep patterns: Insomnia, difficulty staying asleep, or excessive sleeping.
Physical symptoms: Headaches, muscle tension, or other bodily complaints without a clear medical cause.
Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed: Feeling anxious, worried, or overwhelmed by tasks, responsibilities, or situations.
Restlessness or feeling on edge: Feeling agitated, restless, or constantly "on the go."
Difficulty relaxing or unwinding: Struggling to calm down, relax, or engage in activities that bring joy.
Increased heart rate or blood pressure: Rapid heartbeat, palpitations, or increased blood pressure in response to stress. These symptoms can be a sign of chronic stress.
Digestive problems or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): Experiencing stomach issues, digestive problems, or IBS symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel movements. These symptoms can be triggered or exacerbated by stress.
Common causes of stress
Work-related stress: Heavy workload, tight deadlines, lack of control, or poor work-life balance.
Financial stress: Debt, financial insecurity, or insufficient income.
Relationship issues: Conflicts with family, friends, or romantic partners.
Major life changes: Moving, getting married, having a child, or experiencing a loss.
Health concerns: Chronic illness, pain, or discomfort.
Time management: Overcommitting, poor prioritization, or lack of organization.
Social pressures: Societal expectations, peer pressure, or feeling like you're not meeting expectations.
Environmental factors: Noise, clutter, or living in a high-stress environment.
Lack of self-care: Neglecting physical, emotional, or mental well-being.
