We all experience some degree of stress in our daily lives due to work, relationships, environmental factors, or other causes. There are several different reasons why our minds and bodies undergo stress, with some being obvious and others being subtle.
However, despite being common, chronic stress should not be normalized as it is in today’s fast-paced world. Here are some of the biggest dangers and damaging impacts of stress that you should know about:
Emotional dysregulation is common when stressed
Have you ever come home after a hard day and snapped at your partner or kids? Do you feel extra touchy and sensitive when you’re struggling with feelings of stress and anxiety? You’re not alone. Stress can lead to emotional dysregulation, making it challenging to manage your feelings and control them.
Stress puts strain on and damages the heart muscle
You’ve probably heard a lot about how stress leads to heart disease and can hurt you in the long run. It’s not just a myth because stress does have some very serious physical effects on your heart. It strains your heart and damages the muscle, making it difficult to avoid diseases and complications.
It makes you overeat and gain weight due to high cortisol
Stress could also be why you’re packing on the pounds without realizing it. It might come across as a surprise, but human beings eat significantly more food than usual when stressed. When you’re experiencing extended periods of stress, it’s unsurprising that you’ll gain weight–which comes with its own complications for your health. Another factor at play is the elevated cortisol in your system, which is also incredibly damaging.
There are so many other consequences and impacts of stress that we don’t immediately pick up on, including sexual health issues, gut health problems like IBS, chronic fatigue and decreased energy levels, etc.
