symptoms of stress

symptoms of stress

Title: Purple TulipsArtist: Sybylle Pietrek
1. Restlessness - We could have difficulty sitting still over even short periods of time and we may fidget with our hands, twiddling our thumbs or playing with the rings on our fingers. 2. Obsessive Working - Treating work as a refuge can be a stress symptom, although stress can also manifest itself as absenteeism.3. Impatience And Short-teperdness - We could find ourselves becoming angry at any moment for trivial reasons; or we may snap at people, too quick to assume that they are accusing us. 4. Loss Of Appetite - Food doesn't interest us anymore. Either we don't eat, or we over-consume junk food, or whatever is in the store 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. Conversely, we may be intolerant of noise.
