Various effects can cause stress. You might feel stressed because of one huge event or situation in your life. Or it might be a build-up of lots of smaller objects. This might make it harder for you to classify what's making you feel stressed, or to explain it to other people.
What causes stress?
You may experience stress if you:
• Feel under lots of pressure
• Face big changes in your life
• Are concerned about something
• Don't have much or any control over the outcome of a position
• Have responsibilities that you catch overwhelming
• Don't have enough work, activities or adjustment in your life
• Experience perception
• Are going through a period of doubt
Stressful life events, which in isolation might seem less significant, combined to have a real influence on my mental health.
Why do certain things make me feel stressed?
How stressed you feel in different situations may depend on reasons like:
• How relaxed you feel in certain types of situation
• What else you are going through at the phase
• Your experiences, and how these upset the way you feel about yourself
• The means you have available to you, such as time and money
• The amount of care you have from other people
Some circumstances that don't bother you at all might cause someone else a lot of stress. This is because we are all influenced by diverse experiences. We also have different levels of support and ways of handling. Certain actions might also make you feel stressed sometimes, but not every time. For example, if you go shopping for food with sufficient time and money, you may not feel stressed. But you might feel stressed if you have lots of other things to do, have a tight budget, or need to buy food for a huge event.
