When Stress Becomes Extreme 

When stress becomes extreme, life can seem completely out of control.  You may not even realize how much stress has crept into your life until it is overwhelming.  We have listed the most common Crisis Indicators below. These are warning signs of stress overload.   When your stress becomes extreme and you feel you can no longer handle the challenges in your life. Consider seeking outside help: 

•  You experience a marked decline in work or school performance.
• You have feelings of   depression.  Depression in women includes unique signs besides the sleeping abnormalities and you may find yourself constantly crying for no reason or experiencing extreme fatigue.
• You avoid social contact and are withdrawn.
• You may begin thinking about suicide or physically hurting someone else.
• You get into physical fights with your spouse.
• You become too extreme with your child's discipline.
• You engage in self mutilation, self-destructive or dangerous behavior.
• You think your hear voices or see things.
• Life becomes overwhelming for you.
• You feel you can no longer cope with the stress of daily life.
• You misuse alcohol or drugs.
• You feel guilty, as though you aren’t being a good parent for your kids.
• You need someone to talk to.
