Feeling stressed is usually a reaction to mental or emotional pressure and can be caused by many factors including work pressure, family difficulties, financial problems, health concerns, or significant life changes like moving, getting married, or losing a loved one. Stress often arises when feeling out of control or overwhelmed by these situations. Some common reasons for stress include:

• Work-related pressures such as a heavy workload, unclear expectations, or job insecurity.
• Family and relationship issues.
• Financial difficulties like unexpected bills or debts.
• Health problems or caring for someone who is ill.
• Major life events both positive (e.g., having a baby, getting married) and negative (e.g., bereavement, divorce).
• Internal factors like worrying excessively or having unrealistic expectations.
• Chronic or unresolved issues like trauma, toxic relationships, or lack of support.

If stress feels constant or overwhelming, it may be helpful to identify the specific stressors and seek support or strategies to manage them effectively.
