Agitation, irritation, migraines, lack of sleep are all symptoms. Do you ever wake up with thoughts of work constantly on your mind? Do you experience sadness or feel overwhelmed?

Do you feel guilty for spending time with friends or family because of work? Ask yourself is job stress affecting your health and chances are that if you have these symptoms, the answer is "yes."

It may be a little scary if you identify with the above symptoms. You may not realize it, but these changes are directly related to work stress. It is helpful to jot down what you have been experiencing because it becomes real once you see it down on paper. Trust me!
3. Getting Help
If you are still unsure, talk to your friends and family. That is how I realized my job was causing health issues due to stress.
I experienced all of the above. I did not realize that work stress was affecting my health. I felt like I was in a sunken place - my job became my main focus. I was working long hours in a stressful environment, then would go home to work for another 4-8 hours. I looked and felt like a hot mess.
I stopped participating in the activities I loved, like spending time with family and friends, dressing up, along with doing nails and makeup. I was always feeling low and filled with worry. I did not recognize the person I had become. A mess.

What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!
5. Advocate for Yourself
Unfortunately, my symptoms worsened and I had to consult my doctor. I had no idea I was under extreme stress from work.
