Carl Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I am wondering if anyone else is curious about stress indicators I know my Blood Pressure is one. My irritability Fatigue Memory loss. I hope others will add to the list. Once it is more comprehensive we could make a poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winb143 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 My shunt feels awkward when I am stressed does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin-lin Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) This is relevant to me at the moment because I am on a 6 week Stress Management Course. I am due to commence counselling in June to help me further. Stress indicators for me are:- 1. Fatigue 2. Cognition problems - can't make a decision, work through problems etc. 3. Huge lack of assertion 4. Headaches 5. Feeling jumpy and on edge. 6. Memory issues Edited May 10, 2013 by Lin-lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 'Fuzzy head' or feeling like I'm under water. (This can last for days after a stressful event.) Disturbed sleep with many thoughts racing through my head. (Again this can last for days) Plus what everyone else has said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin-lin Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I should add insomnia too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilP Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Dizzy / Fuzzy head Irritability Headache Visual disturbances - I'm not really sure what can be described as double vision, i don't see 2 things but my eyes start to not quite be in sync if that makes sense, like one of them has been moved forward a centimeter so it takes a bit of effort to focus and its like someone turned image stabilization off on a camera particularly round the edges. Disturbed sleep. Edited May 11, 2013 by NeilP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisac Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 - exaggerated emotions and depression - fatigue - anxiety - tight scalp (around incision from surgery) - cognitive issues worse than usual I'm surprised that I was the only one who mentioned exaggerated emotions and depression. When I'm stressed, my emotions get so out of whack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpaggett Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Trouble making decisions or being very influenced by what others want distraction crying at anything good or bad or indifferent like coming home after shopping too long wanting NOTHING to do with planning or the future Everyone else has stuff I experience as well. I know what you're saying about the vision thing! ~Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winb143 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) I get over emotional but I cannot help it. I either laugh so much I start to cry or I get real teary and cannot stop. I sing a lot, laugh a lot, cry a lot Do you think I have hydrocephalus j/k water on the brain my family called me when young, how true they were lol Edited May 13, 2013 by Winb143 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
