Recognising Stress
A certain amount of stress is useful to us – it keeps us going, providing us with the stamina to get through stressful situations. Prolonged exposure to stress can be bad not only to our mental health but also our physical health and sometimes we don’t even realise we’re stressed.
Symptoms of stress can include feeling:
- Tense
- Irritable
- Unable to cope
- Tearful
- Unable to sleep
- Low on energy
Some of the things that can cause us stress (stressors) are; job demands, relationship difficulties, exams, interviews, daily hassles or simply being too busy. A physical injury or illness can create stress on top of other emotional difficulties.
