The first step to destress is to recognise that you are stressed and to know what your limits are. Taking active steps to reduce the amount of external stress is important and getting regular breaks from stressful lifestyle will help you to cope better and avoid the situation reaching a crisis point. So look out for these symptoms…

2) Feeling on the verge of tears much of the time

3) Difficulty in concentrating, decision-making or with memory

4) Always tired even after a full night’s sleep

5) Your sleep is disturbed and unrefreshing

6) A feeling of not being able to cope, it all seems like too much

7) Poor appetite, or else nibbling without hunger

8) No sense of fun or enjoyment in life

9) Mistrustful of everybody, unable to enjoy company

10) Inability to relax or unwind even if not working

11) Problems in relationships, no interest in sex

12) Always fidgeting or having a nervous habit such as biting your nails or chewing your hair
