Hidden signs of stress

Now that New York is slowly reopening, our stress levels are lowering…but that doesn’t mean we’ve totally let our guard down.

Here’s are some signs from the Huffington Post that you may be more stressed out than you think:

You’re tired even when you haven’t done much.  Stress on its own is exhausting and chronic fatigue can be a sign you’re depressed.

You startle really easily  It might be a sign you’re feeling tense as we’re more likely to be jumpy when we’re on edge.

You’re TOO productive or zoned in on a hobby or not at all  it’s true…excessive enthusiasm and extreme productivity are coping mechanisms for some but so is having ZERO interest in things.

You have more headaches  That may be because you’re overly tense and anxious.  Dizziness, ulcers, insomnia and stomach problems can all also be linked to anxiety.

You’re more forgetful  When your brain is overloaded with stress, it’s harder to manage simple tasks and checklists that would normally be routine.
