“What are typical signs of work related stress?”

Work-related stress can present itself in a number of ways depending on the individual. Some symptoms can be: Fatigue, muscular tension, headaches, heart palpitations, sleeping difficulties, such as insomnia, gastrointestinal problems, depression and anxiety, irritability, pessimism, aggression, and much more. Sometimes work stress may feel like a medical condition versus an emotional one.

I assume you aren’t asking a hypothetical question – either you or someone you care about is showing some signs you suspect are related to work-related stress. There are more than I can fit into a small book! More eating/smoking/substance using/drinking alcohol…..Panic attacks….sleeplessness…nightmares….body pains (you know the expression, ‘he’s a pain in the____’)…short temper…. How’s that for starters? Perhaps simple to resolve, perhaps not – why not speak to a counselor and at least see what it is and what might be done.
Good luck – and good that you are nipping it in the bud,

Peace,

Dr. Marian Shapiro
