Understanding Stress Reaction: Recognizing the Signs and Seeking Help

Are You Struggling to Cope with Life Changes? You Don’t Have to Manage It Alone

If you’re having difficulty adapting to a significant life change or stressor, it’s time to take notice.
Stress reaction often occurs after events like the loss of a loved one, divorce, job loss, or moving, leading to intense emotional responses.
Do you feel overwhelmed by feelings of sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness that seem disproportionate to the situation? These emotional reactions can be a key sign.
Experiencing trouble sleeping, changes in appetite, or fatigue can also indicate that you’re struggling to adjust.
Do you find it hard to focus or make decisions during this time? Difficulty concentrating is common when facing stressors.
Are you withdrawing from social activities or feeling detached from those around you? This isolation can exacerbate feelings of distress.
Feeling irritable or experiencing mood swings is another sign that you may be dealing with stress reaction.
