Just as each of us responds to stress in an individual way with our bodies and behaviour, our emotions also change. Some of us become uptight while others become anxious. These emotional responses are shaped by our genes and early childhood experiences. They are often very inappropriate responses to the kind of stressful situations we meet in adulthood. We need to be aware of these automatic emotional reactions so that we can control them before acting on them. Identify the feelings you experience most commonly when you first become stressed. Here are some examples of emotional response to stress:

irritability

over-excitability

apathy

tearfulness

uncontrollable worrying

anxiety attacks

decrease in confidence

increase in obsessions or phobias

palpitations

feelings of being overwhelmed or confused

a feeling of powerlessness

a feeling of watching the world from the outside

loss of trust in people
