How do you recognize when you’re stressed?
I begin to tremble and I shake my leg very intensively. I also bite my nails or scratch my clothes. It's a very unpleasant feeling😔
When there's a problem and my mind is like "what should I do? What should I do?" And my nerves begin acting up.
@Hope I get irritable and then the anxiety starts
@Hope. I start thinking negatively and the thoughts fill up my mind

Physical signs are a sure way to tell.
Clenched jaws, itchy eyes, irritation, tensed back, etc. But sadly these signs come much later.
If we start recognizing it when it is at the behavioral level, we have a good chance of preventing the physical signs.
We try, but we can often miss the behavioral signs. With practice it can become easier though.
@DonaldDraper I forgot about the clenched jaw! How could I forget the clenched jaw?
@mytwistedsoul maybe you are stressed :P
@DonaldDraper Lol you're probably right. Stressed seems to be my factory setting 😋
@mytwistedsoul thankfully some apps can help modify the factory settings too :D
I can tell that I have been stressing when my eyes feel really tired and dry and my forehead hurts like I been playing a losing game of Tetris.
I can feel it in my mind an body how I react to stuff
