This is why if you do not do something to release yourself from it, it can contribute to some serious number of conditions. If you don’t know that you are overstressed, here are some pointers that will help you figure that out.

1. Your body will be in pain. The stress can make you body break down, causing stomach issues, tense muscles, diarrhea, ulcers, palpitations and chest pains. We have to address every pain in every part of our body, because it might indicate a bigger and more serious issue.

2. You cannot sleep well. If your sleeping patterns have changed, it means that you have to change something. You probably have been dealing with too much stress and this is your body’s way of coping with it. Take up a healthier diet, meditate and do exercises to get rid of your sleeping issues.

3. Your weight will fluctuate. Changes in the weight can be a result from too much stress. Your metabolism will slow down and you will start gaining weight. If you stress too much, you may start eating less and make your pounds shed completely.

4. Your mind just can’t stop focusing on work or the problems you have. If you find yourself to be constantly preoccupied with work, finances and every other aspect in your life, then stress has the control over you.

5. You will lose the ability to stand still. This is a sure sign of being overstressed. All the stress and anxiety can make you uncomfortable with your own thoughts, and in this case, the mind can be the most dangerous thing that can happen to you.

6. You don’t have any patience with other people anymore. The stress makes us intolerant and impatient, making you sap easily and be irritated easily, even from the ones that are closest to you.

7. Major mood swings are coming your way. First you feel happy, the next moment you’re crying, then the stress is affecting your hormone levels. If you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, talk to someone. If you don’t do it, some serious issues may occur, such as obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, addictions and plenty of other mental issues.

8. You will start experiencing hair loss. Even though people tend to lose 100 hairs a day, if the hair loss starts increasing, and it is happening for a longer period of time, then you definitely need to reevaluate your stress levels and what causes it because it can lead to severe hair loss.

9. You are losing your libido. The stress affects your libido too, and makes it the last thing you think about. When the stress levels increase, they cause the body to exhaust, leaving it with no energy to bond or create any form of intimacy.

If you notice this, try managing your stress with several relaxation techniques. Open up to your partner, your relationship does not have to suffer the consequences so make it easier on both of you.
