Everyone knows about the destructive effects of stress, but not everyone can detect the emergence of a problem in a timely manner.
Sometimes we just blame it all on fatigue and workload.
And nervous tension, as we know, has the property of accumulating. As a result, we destroy our body and are at risk of a nervous breakdown.
What are the signs that you are under stress?
Insomnia
Most often, stress becomes the reason that a person loses normal sleep. It is difficult for you to "send" yourself to bed at the right time.
A person may also wake up several times during the night.
Too much sleep
At first glance, it may seem that a large amount of rest cannot have a negative effect. But this can also indicate that stress has begun to have a negative effect on you.
It is important to understand that too much sleep will leave you feeling drained, so you don't feel rested and energized.
Lack of appetite or overeating
This reaction is individual. Some people, due to nervous tension, cannot even look at food. Others, on the contrary, begin to suffer from overeating.
Therefore, any changes in eating behavior should be monitored.
Decreased libido
If you have noticed a decrease in interest in the intimate sphere, then it is worth thinking about the level of stress in your life. In most cases, a decrease in libido indicates long-term nervous tension.
Reluctance to leave the house
Experts note that due to stress, we deny ourselves various pleasures, preferring to stay at home.
This contributes to the fact that nervous tension can develop into a chronic form.
Binge
Many people intuitively think that alcoholic drinks will help relieve the unpleasant feeling of nervous tension, which is a misconception.
If you start to notice that you are having thoughts about drinking, then it is worth thinking about ways to reduce stress.
