Check Your Stress Symptoms
In case you're unsure about how stress symptoms manifest, here are some of the most common ones:
Frequent tears
Feeling down
Everything seems insurmountable
Heart racing
Struggling to sleep
Headaches
Exhaustion
Chest tightness
Stomach discomfort
Shallow breathing
Difficulty remembering
Restlessness
Short fuse
Irritability
Low energy
Mood swings
Feelings of shame and guilt
Take a deep breath. What you're feeling – that sense of shame and hopelessness – it's temporary. But your system is running hot, and it needs to cool down before it gets too overwhelming.
You haven't done anything wrong. You're not weak. And when you come out on the other side, you'll be stronger and in greater harmony with yourself and your body than before.
There's Plenty of Help Available!
There are numerous techniques and an abundance of support. This too shall pass.
Stress affects us all! It doesn't define you as a person or your ability to handle life's challenges.
Your Stress Has Been Building Up for Years!
Stress is the result of a shock or prolonged suppression of experiences. Every little "poke," every small negative experience – if not properly addressed, it lingers in your body and creates tension.
So, why does it feel like it's just me?
Stress has become a widespread issue. The way our daily lives are structured can be incredibly stressful. But there are techniques that can help ensure you don't experience a relapse in the future.
What you're going through right now is tough. But it's also an opportunity for you to become stronger, healthier, and happier.
- Keep taking those deep breaths, sending oxygen to your cells. Know that your stress can be a stepping stone to a better version of yourself and a brighter future!
