How many signs of stress do you suffer from?

How often do you experience any of these physical or emotional responses to stress? Are letting stress affect your health? Can you recognize the signs of stress in your family members or friends?

Check our list of 50 stress symptoms.

The effects of stress are difficult to define because stress affects each of us differently. Things that are stressful for me might even be pleasurable for you. We also respond to stress differently. Some people blush, some of us eat more while others grow pale or eat less.

Have you ever thought that your irritating skin rash was a sign of some dreaded disease, only nothing helps it to clear?…

I have!…

I break into itches regularly and thought that my days were numbered. But I have learned that this is my body’s way of responding to unmanaged stress in my life. It is very helpful to recognize stress symptoms and prevent unnecessary panic about your state of health.

Of course, the next step is to put a stress management plan into action…
