Stress literally means “tension” or “pressure.” There’s a difference between healthy stress, like before an exciting event, and unhealthy stress that lasts for a longer time. Stress symptoms can show up in your body, mind, behavior, or thoughts. Think of a rapid heartbeat, increased breathing, irritability, restlessness, trouble concentrating or sleeping, and turning to things like alcohol, drugs, or food.
