How To Identify Relationship Stress - Five Major Symptom Areas
Stress can occur in our lives due to many things. We can have stress from work, social life, finances and our relationships. Regardless of where the stress comes from it is defined the same way and can cause similar symptoms and bodily reactions. Relationship stress is simply the stress that we experience within our relationships. In this case I am referring to a spouse or significant other. In order to identify relationship stress it is important to define what stress is and what areas it affects. Stress can be defined as a heightened sense in your sympathetic nervous system. This can be short term. When stress becomes more constant then your sympathetic nervous system is activated for prolonged periods of time. This is when more significant symptoms can occur. The symptoms that you experience with relationship stress can affect many areas. 1. Bodily symptoms - this could include unexplained joint pain, stomach distress, back and neck aches, loss of appetite, sleeplessness.2. Mind symptoms - difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly, confusion, scattered thoughts, irrational thought, etc.3. Emotional symptoms - depression, anxiety, anger, sadness, annoyance, etc.4. Spiritual symptoms - resentment toward religion, avoiding prayer or God, etc.5. Relational symptoms - conflicts/struggles with loved ones, closing yourself off from friends, family, loved ones.These five areas encompass the main areas of our lives that relationship stress can affect. If you find that you are experiencing one or more of these things then you have likely identified relationship stress in your life. The sooner you identify relationship stress the sooner you can do something about it to help heal your relationship problems.
