Lately, I’ve been feeling like I can’t focus on anything for more than a few minutes at work. Yesterday I completely forgot about an important email I promised to send, and it really freaked me out. I’m starting to wonder if that’s my first sign that stress is taking over. Does anyone else notice weird little habits or mental lapses before it gets really overwhelming?

Oh, I totally get that. For me, it usually starts with tension headaches and trouble sleeping—once that hits, I know stress is creeping in. I also notice I get super short with people over tiny things, which isn’t like me at all. One thing that’s helped me is checking out communities online to see how others cope, like this post on what is liven. It’s nice to read real experiences and practical tips from people who go through the same stuff.
