April is Stress Awareness Month ๐
Stress is a common and natural response to lifeโs pressures. However, when it becomes persistent or overwhelming, it can begin to affect both your mental and physical wellbeing.
Common signs of stress can include:
โข Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
โข Low mood or irritability
โข Poor sleep
โข Fatigue
โข Physical symptoms such as headaches or muscle tension
There are simple steps that can help manage stress, including regular physical activity, taking time to rest, speaking with someone you trust, and breaking tasks into manageable steps.
If stress is affecting your daily life, we would encourage you to seek support. Speaking with your GP can help you access the right advice and care.
Further information and support are available via the NHS:
