In a State of Our Nation poll by the American Psychological Association<\/a>, 62 percent said that money issues had them stressed<\/strong> <\/em>out. And nearly 6 in 10 people said that today’s political situation in the US makes them feel anxious. From worry over money, work, to the future of our nation, there’s a lot that we could find ourselves stressed out about.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, anxious thoughts do not begin and end in the mind. Eventually, these thoughts show up in your body in often unforeseen ways.<\/p>\n

Ways stress manifests in your body<\/h2>\n

\"headache<\/a><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Sam Carroll DMD, Yuma Smiles<\/a>,”If you are under a lot of stress, you might be grinding your teeth at night and waking up with a headache or a sore jaw.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your night of sleep could also be hampered by weird and vivid dreams. Everyone dreams, but not all remember what their dreams were. There are various reasons for this. Because stress hampers our ability to fall to sleep, the result is a night of broken sleep. Research has found that those who awake more frequently throughout the night recall their dreams with more clarity.<\/p>\n

Additionally, emotions can tend to feel heightened and you may find yourself easily triggered by what others say or do. Taken to an extreme, you might be faced with “flooding.” This therapist term is used to name what happens when you experience a wider than average range of emotions in a short span of time. The reason for flooding is often prompted by a situation that causes you to feel a loss of control.<\/p>\n

Another odd way stress may manifest in your life is through stress eating. Your body might have the learned response of eating to self-soothe. It knows that a dose of sugar can spike dopamine, which is the brain’s feel-good chemical that can provide feelings of euphoria to your system. When you are stressed, you want to feel better quickly. Which is why you reach for that doughnut or that chocolate bar.<\/p>\n

A desire to numb yourself or “check out” could be a way your stress shows itself. When you are feeling overwhelmed and your mind is racing, you might drink one too many. Or choose some other substance that can help the brain go quiet.<\/p>
