When stress becomes too much to handle, you may turn to things that bring immediate comfort. This could be food, your phone, gaming, TV, or substances to numb your emotions. It is your body’s way of seeking immediate relief. However, this does not solve the problem.
These signs are not flaws, but your body’s way of communicating that something needs to change. Recognising them is the first step. Pay attention to these signs before stress completely hijacks your system.
