Stress can feel horrible, especially when it is ongoing. It can really wear us down. The problem is that when we feel stressed we often don't sit back, take note and realise the affect it is having on us until it's already pretty bad. By then it is already wearing us down.
Below are some of the typical signs of stress that tell us we have been trying to maintain and be strong for too long and that the situation we find ourselves in is taking its toll.
Physical signs of stress
Bruxism: Jaw clenching, teeth grinding, chewing at side of mouth, mouth ulcers
Changes from ‘typical’ behaviour
Chronic fatigue
Facial expression
Hair greying, hair loss
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Increased need to urinate more frequently
Insomnia
Lack of appetite / comfort eating / eating disorders
