Stress and Overwhelm
Though they range in severity, cause, and experience, stress and overwhelm are both emotional and physical reactions to daily problems.
While stress can be a temporary reaction to a specific situation (work deadlines, family responsibilities, or financial worries) or internal factors (self-expectations or personal goals), overwhelm is often more pervasive and may lead to burnout if not addressed.
Stress is often a prolonged feeling that occurs when a person perceives that the demands placed on them exceed their capacity to cope. It typically occurs when a feeling of losing control results from an accumulation of stressors, tasks, or emotions.It can feel that everything is too much to bear or that there is no way out.
