Never in the past have there been so many people who are suffering from the fast-paced lifestyle and the heavy workload of this day and age. Stress is expanding its negative influences on every subject of every generation, and we cannot observe the situation withoutdoing something about it. To recognize the state of having stress, there are some signs and simple symptoms that we can use and identify the illness before possible consequences.
The following signs are divided into four main categories: cognitive symptoms which are related to the consciousness of people’s mind, emotional symptoms which indicates stress by your feelings, physical symptoms which concerns your body’s reaction, and behavioral symptoms which tells the condition according to your behaviors. The first type – cognitive symptoms – takes people’s the ability to think into account and make judgment whether you are suffering from stress by that. The signs may vary in different situations, but most common signs are: memory problems (which can include short-term, long-term memory loss, or temporary interuption of memory), inability to concentrate (which is very common among people suffering from stress), poor judgment, seeing only the negatives (being pessimistic), anxious or racing thoughts and constant worrying. These are the symptoms that are quite universal and have been recorded on most subjects of research who are suffering from serious stress.
The second type of symptom is the emotional one. As we all know, stress can exercise very heavy and negative effects on our psychological mind, and therefore can intervene into our emotions very easily. We will not be able to control our emotions, neither can we stop negative thinkings and show pessimistic points of view. Some basic signs of emotional stress symptoms are: moodiness, irritably or short-temper, agitation-inablity to relax, feeling overwhelmed, sense of loneliness and isoloation, and depression or general unhappiness. These can all affect very badly to the brain and may gradually damage its functions. Worse consequences can follow with more serious mental illnesses and permanent loss of cognition.
The third type of stress symptoms is the physical one. This type remains the clearest signs of having stress since they have the tendency to be exposed outward, however they all should be taken into account since the damage can be fatal. Stress often results in aches and pains, particularly in the muscles or organs of the body. Signs also includes diarrhea or constipation, nausea or dizziness, chest pain or rapid heartbeat, loss of sex drive and frequent cold. In the early stages, these symptoms might be quite harmless but they can turn into chronic diseases and cause us fatal illnesses if we do not know how to deal with them and fight against stress.
The last type of sypmtoms is the behavioral type which is no less serious. You can observe the changes of a person’s behaviors and then tell whether they are having stress or not by looking at specific signs. These signs include: eating more or less, sleeping too much or too little, isolating yourself from others, procrastinating or neglecting responsibilities, using alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs to relax, or nervous habits (e.g. nail biting, pacing).
In conclusion, it depends on you yourself whether you can deal with stress or not. Recognizing your own condition based on these symptoms could be a key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle free of stress.
