STRESS
When stress starts to feel hard to manage..
Stress is something most people experience at different stages of life. However, when stress becomes persistent, intense, or difficult to manage, it can begin to affect how you think, feel, sleep, and function on a daily basis.
If you’ve been feeling constantly tense, mentally overloaded, or unable to switch off, it does not mean you are weak or failing. More often, it means your mind and body have been under sustained pressure for longer than they can comfortably handle.
Many people live with ongoing stress for a long time before realising how deeply it is affecting their mental well-being and quality of life.
How stress commonly shows up
Stress can present in different ways for different people. It may affect emotions, thoughts, physical health, or daily behaviour.
Common experiences include:
-
A constant sense of pressure or mental restlessness
-
Difficulty relaxing, even during breaks or at night
-
Feeling irritable, easily overwhelmed, or emotionally drained
-
Trouble concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions
-
Physical symptoms such as headaches, body pain, fatigue, or tightness
-
Changes in sleep patterns or waking up feeling unrefreshed
​
These signs often develop gradually and are easy to dismiss, until they begin to interfere with work, relationships, or everyday functioning.​
When stress may need professional attention​
It may be helpful to consider a psychiatric consultation if stress:
-
Persists for several weeks or months without improvement
-
Begins to interfere with work, studies, or personal relationships
-
Affects sleep, appetite, or emotional balance
-
Feels increasingly difficult to manage on your own
-
Leaves you feeling constantly “on edge” or mentally exhausted
Seeking professional help does not mean something is seriously wrong. It means you are taking your mental health seriously and proactively.​
