Here are 7 signs of stress you shouldn’t ignore, especially if they’ve become frequent or are affecting your well-being.
1Irritability or anger You may find yourself snapping over small things or getting frustrated more easily than usual.
2Sleep problems Stress can cause insomnia, restless nights, or oversleeping—even when you feel exhausted.
3Feeling tense or restless A sense of being “on edge,” constantly wired, or unable to relax can be a result of prolonged stress.
4Emotional numbness or disconnection You might feel burned out, detached, or like you're just going through the motions.
5Physical aches and pains Chronic stress often shows up as headaches, muscle tension, stomach issues, or frequent illness.
6Difficulty focusing or forgetfulness Stress can impact memory and concentration, making it harder to stay sharp and organized.
7Avoiding people or responsibilities You may withdraw from tasks, social events, or obligations that feel too overwhelming to manage.
