Symptoms Of Stress

*When we feel stressed our difficulty tends to be reflected in certain
physiological (physical) and psychological (mental) symptoms, whose
importance we may not fully understand. These are normal signs that we
should re-check our priorities – our body, or our state of mind, is telling
us that something in our lives needs to change. Listed here are some of the
common signs:

*1. Restlessness **- We could have difficulty sitting still for even short
periods of time and we may play with our hands, play with our thumbs or play
with the rings on our fingers. *
*
2**.** Impatience And Short-temperedness** - We could find ourselves
becoming angry at any moment for simple reasons; or we may snap at people,
too quick to assume that they are accusing us.

3**.** Obsessive Working** – Overworking can be a stress symptom, although
stress can also cause some people to work very little.*
*
4. Loss Of Appetite** - Food doesn't interest us anymore. Either we don't
eat, or we over-eat junk food, or whatever is in the cupboard or fridge.*
*
5. Fear Of Silence** - Silence may cause us discomfort, so that we
"over-talk" when with other people or leave on the radio or television when
alone. Sometimes we may not tolerate noise at all.*
