Stress & anxiety

Stress and anxiety can cause agitation, racing heartbeat, sweating, churning stomach, tiredness, headaches, digestive difficulties, not being able to sleep properly or to concentrate for long. Stress and anxiety are both normal reactions, which usually happen when we are confronted with situations where we feel uncomfortable, worried or threatened. However, being stressed and anxious a lot of the time can lead to ill-health and practical problems in our daily lives.

You are not alone

All of us experience some stress or anxiety at some point in our lives. This could be caused by a number of reasons such as exams, moving house or a new job. However, if you are feeling really ‘on edge’ a lot of the time and you’re not sure why, then it could be time to get some support and information to help you whatever is worrying you.
