Signs of Too Much Stress
Signs that your optimal level of stress has been exceeded include:
- chronic muscle
- tension (especially in the neck and back)
- short temper
- anxiety
- excessive worry
- insomnia
- chronic fatigue
- general nervousness
- feeling “burnt-out” or “stressed out”
Chronic health problems associated with a prolonged stress response include:

Thus too much stress has a general negative effect, leaving us vulnerable to many diseases, and inhibiting recovery as well.
