Stress is a natural response to life’s pressures—but when it becomes constant or overwhelming, it can seriously affect your well-being.
You might notice:
- Feeling tense, on edge, or easily irritated
- Difficulty relaxing or “switching off”
- Trouble sleeping or waking up feeling unrefreshed
- Racing thoughts or feeling mentally overloaded
- Headaches, muscle tension, or other physical symptoms
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Changes in appetite or energy levels
- Feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or burnt out
Common sources of stress include:
- Work-related demands or burnout
- Relationship challenges or conflict
- Health concerns—your own or a loved one’s
- Major life changes or uncertainty about the future
- Financial pressures or lack of support
Stress is part of life—but it doesn’t have to control it. With the right support, you can navigate challenges with more clarity, strength, and ease.
