Have you ever used stress or being stressed out as an excuse for your
erratic behavior or for being less attentive to situations or to
people around you? The symptoms of stress can cause many changes in a
person both physically and mentally. Allowing stress symptoms to
control you can lead to more than a grumpy disposition or a lack of
focus.

rather similar symptoms present in other common ailments. This may
lead to a certain amount of confusion and while you may suspect that
stress is the culprit for how bad you are feeling, you sometimes shrug
off this suspicion and take the medication that is often used for the
illness that you think caused your ill health.

stage when stress is present, with depression and the feeling of
loneliness is only a couple of the stress symptoms that can affect
you.
