Signs Of Stress Depression Anxiety Poor Sleep

Stress can affect us in different ways

Stress isn't always easy to recognise. You might find yourself worrying more than usual, feeling overwhelmed or struggling with everyday things that once seemed manageable.

Stress can affect how we think, feel and behave, and sometimes these effects can build up without us realising just how much they're affecting our lives.

Recognising how stress affects you is an important first step towards understanding it and learning how to manage it.
