How to Deal with Anxiety and Stress

Worry, fear, anger, sadness are all normal emotional responses. They are all part of life. However, if the stress that underlies these emotions interferes with your ability to do the things you want or need to do, then your stress has become unhealthy.

Symptoms of emotional stress include:

Being more emotional than usual

Feeling overwhelmed or on edge

Episodes of sadness

Trouble keeping track of things or remembering

Trouble making decisions, solving problems, concentrating or getting your work done.

Using alcohol or drugs to relieve your emotional stress.

If you have any of the symptoms of emotional stress and haven’t found relief, it's time to work together to get the roots of the cause and not just address the symptoms.
