Struggling with Stress & Overwhelm
Why am I struggling with Stress & Overwhelm?
Stress and overwhelm occur when an individual feels they have too many demands and not enough resources to cope. This state is often characterized by feelings of anxiety, tension and an inability to relax, which can lead to both physical and emotional exhaustion.
How It Can Show Up:
Symptoms of stress and overwhelm can present as irritability, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances or a sense of perpetual urgency. It can lead to poor decision-making, reduced productivity and can even manifest in physical symptoms such as headaches or a compromised immune system.
Where It Might Originate From:
Stress and overwhelm often stem from a combination of high-pressure environments, personal expectations and life transitions. Factors such as work deadlines, family responsibilities, financial pressures or significant changes can all contribute to a person’s stress levels. This might become especially problematic if the person has difficulties in setting boundaries and being assertive. Stress can also come from the perceived need to keep up with society’s expectations.
