Stress is something many of us experience, but too much stress can affect both our mental and physical health.
Common signs of stress can include:
- Feeling overwhelmed or anxious.
- Difficulty sleeping.
- Trouble concentrating.
- Feeling irritable or low.
We recommend some simple ways to help manage stress:
- Try to stay active and get regular exercise.
- Take time to relax and do things you enjoy.
- Talk to someone you trust about how you’re feeling.
- Make time for rest and good sleep.
If stress is affecting your daily life, support is available. You can speak to a healthcare professional or find helpful advice at Every Mind Matters.
NHS Talking Therapies can also help you with stress, anxiety and low mood, and you can even self-refer online without seeing a GP first.
Looking after your wellbeing is just as important as looking after your physical health. 💚
