| Family, traffic,
work, money—daily life can be full of nonstop
stress that wears us down. Some events are very stressful,
like a divorce, a disaster, the death of someone you
love or the loss of a job. Even happy events, like the
birth of a baby, can be stressful.
Ignoring the signs of stress or depression can lead
to problems, even serious illness. It is important to
reach out and talk to family or friends. Think about
where your stress comes from and what you can do to
manage it. If you don’t feel better soon or if
you feel you can’t cope, get help from a mental
health professional. You and your loved ones are worth
the effort. |
