The pressure of an increasingly demanding work culture and ever rising cost of living is perhaps one of he biggest challenges to our mental health and wellbeing.
It is reported that one in six of us will experience a mental health problem in any given month and work related stress is a large portion of this. We all suffer stress from time to time and a little pressure at work can be motivating and make work exilirating and a positive challenge and rewarding. It can help you perform better and teach you ways of overcoming obstacles that may occur. But when this pressure becomes excessive and the demand of your job is too much, it can lead to work-related stress.
Work-related stress is when certain demands in your job exceed your ability to cope. Similarly, workplace bullying, harassment, unrealistic deadlines and feeling inadequate or undervalued can also negatively affect your ability to cope.
Signs of work-related stress
Signs of work-related stress
Everyone reacts differently and your personality, ability to cope and how you respond to pressure may affect the symptoms you experience. However, there are some common signs of work-related stress to look out for.
• lack of confidence
• lack of concentration and productivity
• feeling negative
• increased sensitivity
• irritability or short-tempered
• mood swings
• sleeping more or less than usual
• increased or low appetite
• headaches
• aches and pains
• keeping to yourself or avoiding social situations
Also, one of the easiest ways to know if you may be suffering from stress is to listen to your body. You may brush it off as a cold, headache, or tiredness, but feeling unwell is a common sign of stress. The thought of work shouldn’t make you feel anxious. If you’re feeling tearful or aggressive, have lost your passion, enthusiasm and dread going to work, then something needs to change.

If you think you are suffering from work-related stress, it is important you seek help. It’s easy to think the feeling will pass or that everyone feels that way, but pushing it aside and not dealing with it will only make you feel worse. When you spend so much time at work, it should generally make you feel good. You should be happy and feel proud of what you do.
