Stress and Anxiety
Stress and Anxiety
Recognizing the differences between Stress and Anxiety makes it easier to manage each more effectively. External factors such as work deadlines, interpersonal conflicts, discrimination, or health challenges activate Stress, which can lead to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms, including irritability, fatigue, muscle pain, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances.
​
Anxiety, in contrast, involves persistent and excessive worry that lingers even in the absence of immediate stressors. Symptoms may include insomnia, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, restlessness, and, in some cases, panic attacks.
While movement, sleep, and a balanced diet are excellent starting points, deeper counselling support can foster lasting change.
