We find no one immune to the pressure of daily life. We may find someone bursting with nervous outbursts, or find them depressed, sad and distracted, suffering from lack of sleep, frequent nightmares and weight gain, among other disorders that weigh us down and make our lives a misery, and prevent us from enjoying what is beautiful in our day, or prevent us from working calmly and with peace of mind, or from forming human relationships with those around us.
These are the difficulties a person faces, which impose demands on them that may exceed their abilities and capacities, leading them to fall under psychological stress, or psychological crisis. The sources of psychological stress are confined to frustration, conflict and social pressures.
Economic stress.
Social stress.
Family stress.
Try to link the feeling of fatigue or illness with the pressures you are facing. Look for physical warning signs, such as muscle tension, excessive fatigue, headaches or migraines.
Try to identify the underlying causes, classifying the possible causes of stress into three categories: those that have a practical solution, others that will improve with time, and a third that you can do nothing about. Try to get rid of your worry about those in the second and third groups and avoid them altogether.
Could it be that you are overthinking things? Are there things you do that could be handed over to someone else? Can you do things in a more comfortable way? To work towards answering these questions, you may need to prioritise the things you are trying to achieve and reorganise your life. All of this will help get rid of the pressure that may come from trying to do everything at once.
