Stress is how we react when we feel under pressure or threatened. It usually happens when we are in a situation that we don’t feel we can manage or control. When we experience stress, it can be as: An individual, for example when you have lots of responsibilities that you are struggling to manage Part of a group, for example if your family is going through a difficult time, such as bereavement or financial problems. Part of your community, for example if you belong to a religious group that is experiencing discrimination. A member of society, for example during natural disasters or events like the coronavirus pandemic. A student or young person in education experiencing stress for a variety of factors relating to studies. If you feel stress as part of a bigger group, you may all experience it differently. This can happen even if the cause of your stress is the same. To discuss your feelings further with a qualified therapist, contact for more information on.
