Has anyone else noticed they’re stressed without “feeling” stressed? I don’t feel as stressed as when I was in college. However, I’m still on the job hunt and I think stress is manifesting itself without me realizing it. My skin is showing really bad acne, I feel unmotivated even to fill out job applications; I’m having trouble falling asleep at night and even though I sleep past noon sometimes I still feel tired during the day... Is it stress or burnout?

I’m certainly experiencing this, and am dealing with pretty bad breakouts and anxiety as a result, though my workload is manageable and I’m sleeping/eating/living well enough.

Are you in America? I’m also feeling passively stressed due to the upcoming election.

Stress was the main cause of my anxiety in the past; I used to believe they were the same thing. Now that I think my anxiety is under control, I start to notice the side effects of stress on my body.

I am in America. I think the news and politics also have an impact. I rarely watch the news because I know how bad they can be for my mental health, but I can’t avoid them sometimes since I’m living at home. My mom listens to the radio every day and my dad often watches the news during dinner. I also used to believe politics didn’t influence my life that much, but I’m starting to think otherwise.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
