Signs of Stress

You go to party where you know almost no one. your throat suddenly feels dry and you develop a nervous couge. your best friend, in the same situation tends to giggle a lot, even when there's nothing to giggle about. Later on, when you and your friend feel at home with the group, you find that the cough and the giggle disappear. Or maybe you were no aware of them at all.


There are many signs of stress. the signs very from person to person and from time to time in the same person. A couge, agiggle, a nagging pain in the back --- all these can be symptoms of stress. some people get physically sick with nausea and diarrhea, while other have nightmares. still others drink alcolhol or use drugs. some people get angry and loud when they are under stress, while other withdraw and get very quiet.

There is a tendency, however, for any one person to respond to strss with the same symptom. The first step in coping with stress is to become aware of how your own body responds. that will enable you to recognize when you are under stress.
