Irritation.<\/strong> When stressed, you are tense and nervous so more likely to feel irritable and angry. These are common with people who face stress. All sorts of stress cause irritation, including stress at work, personal issues, being stuck in traffic or even exam stress. You feel ticked off at the smallest of things due to stress. As a result, you may end up reacting due to an unrelated annoyance or irritation.
<\/p>\n\n\n

Mood swings.<\/strong> When you’re stressed, you are irritable, have headaches, may not sleep well and your eating habits suffer as well. Moreover, there is a hormonal imbalance due to the surge of cortisol and adrenaline in your body. As a result, it is common to also face mood swings. You are in a constant state of worry and the strain takes its toll on you, causing your mood to fluctuate a lot. In case you find yourself feeling moody often and aren’t sure why, it could be one of the emotional symptoms of stress.
