What Is Stress & How Does It Affect You?
Stress is a normal response to demands at work, school, home, or in relationships. When stress is prolonged or intense, it can disrupt sleep, mood, focus, digestion, and immunity. With targeted skills and supports, you can reduce reactivity and recover balance.
Common Signs of Stress
- Racing thoughts, irritability, worry, or feeling overwhelmed
- Poor sleep, fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, GI changes
- Procrastination, perfectionism, or difficulty focusing
- Using caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, or screens to cope
Important — If you feel unsafe or are thinking about harming yourself, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Drivers & Risk Factors
- Workload, deadlines, shift work, or caregiving demands
- Major life changes, financial strain, health concerns
