Question

stress what cause it an how do you know you have it an it sign for it ?

Answer 1

For me stress is caused when school work starts to pile up and then I have to balance soccer on top of that. The signs of stress for me start off...
1. can't sleep
2. bad mood and angry and/or start to cry
3. headache and shoulder pain.
4. Migraine, stomach ache, or other type of physical illness.

These signs prove I have it for real. And to get over it I have to priorities and give myself a break.

Stress can be caused by anything, and varies in severity. It depends on how well you usually handle it, what's causing it, and how much it interferes with your daily life.

Sign of stress are: irritability, feeling anxious (people with anxiety don't deal well withs stress, so these symptoms are often intertwined), weight gain, loss of weight, fatigue, insomnia, etc., especially if these symptoms are during an event such as a death, financial burdens, kid problems, etc.

If any of these symptoms prevents you from normally functioning, then you need to seek help from a doctor or therapist. A professional can help you manage it better.

I, personally, can get very stressed because of work. If I'm working on a project that's especially complicated (usually because of other co-workers), I will feel sick to my stomach and become very anxious and irritable. I'm usually able to unwind at home by talking about it with my boyfriend, or clearing my mind with Pilates or a bubble bath. Just find what works for you.
