Work is an important aspect of most people’s life. Work can be beneficial to your mental health as it provides you with a daily routine, financial security, the chance to develop your useful skills, expand your knowledge and gain achievements. However, work can be a major source of stress and lead to work-related stress.
Work-related stress is stress that is caused by perceived or real work pressures such as a demanding workload, deadlines, work relationships dynamics, performance reviews.
Some of the common symptoms of work-related stress include:
- Inability to switch off (constant worry and anxious or racing thoughts)
- A sense of dread at the thought of going to work every day
- Feeling low, overwhelmed, or helpless
- Difficulty in sleeping, particularly on Sunday
- Irritability or Short Temper
- Procrastination
- Tiredness and physical exhaustion
- Loss of effectiveness at work
