What Is Stress And Its Impact On You

Stress is the pressure and strain you feel when you have too much going on due to some of the life changing events. You may feel that you are unable to cope and manage your day-to-day life obligations.
 
There are many reasons why we feel stressed, which will be discussed briefly here below.

Examples of negative stresses are:
