You may be feeling overwhelmed with your finances, under-appreciated, overworked or unmotivated. Perhaps you feel like nothing you do matters or that you're trapped in your current circumstances. These feelings often cause a person to feel stressed. Chronic stress can lead to anxiety and depression, as well as physical symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, muscle tension and fatigue. If it continues for an extended time, stress can turn to burn out, which is a state of exhaustion that is harder to recover from. That's why it's important to take time out to assess your own mental health, so that you can prevent these issues from interfering with your life.
