You may not know it as it’s happening, even if someone tells you, but stress can cause you to behave differently than you would normally.
Some of the most common behaviours which may change, are:
- More outward anger
- Abuse of tobacco, drugs or alcohol, often as crutches to deal with stress
- Overeating or under eating (under eating is more common)
- Fewer social interactions, more arguments
- Less exercise
Stress can make you feel angry or sad at times when you’d never normally feel that way, and it can cause major losses in focus for people with lots of responsibilities to keep track of. The key is increasing relaxation, so whatever helps you relax could work well. Just as important is eliminating as many of the unnecessary causes of your body’s stress as you can.
