Stress has a myriad of symptoms, the same goes for anxiety.

It can range from the most common which is rapid heart rate, headaches, muscle tension, "feeling on the edge", fatigue, insomnia, palpitations, perfuse sweating, hot and cold flashes, hyperventilation and lots more.

Psychologically, you may feel that your head is just too crowded with thoughts (and not good ones at that), or irrationality, moodiness, proneto outbursts, etc.

If you are feeling very stressed and / or anxious, first cut out anything in your diet that could be causing it or intensifying it, like caffeine, sugar and alcohol. Get some exercise in, it has many benefits on stress and anxiety. And also set up a relaxation routine to do every single day. Find a good relaxation CD and listen to it everyday. Sometimes we can't release stress because we find it difficult to allow ourselves to relax. This is important to do.
