Tense muscles are tight and feel "hard" to the touch. A tense mind makes you feel jumpy, irritable, and unable to concentrate. This could be your signal to do something about stress, both for your immediate comfort and to prevent the long-term effects of stress.\n\nSymptoms of stress\nCommon symptoms of stress include:\n\nRapid heartbeat. \nHeadache. \nStiff neck and/or tight shoulders. \nBackache. \nRapid breathing. \nSweating and sweaty palms. \nUpset stomach, nausea, or diarrhea. \nYou also may notice signs of stress in your thinking, behavior, or mood. You may:\n\nBecome irritable and intolerant of even minor disturbances. \nFeel irritated or frustrated, lose your temper more often, and yell at others for no reason. \nFeel jumpy or exhausted all the time. \nFind it hard to concentrate or focus on tasks. \nWorry too much about insignificant things. \nDoubt your ability to do things. \nImagine negative, worrisome, or terrifying scenes. \nFeel you are missing opportunities because you cannot act quickly.

I believe a nervous breakdown, is when you lose control of your nervous funcions, like crying that you can't stop or shaking. \nI've had a very very hard life. I don't know if I've ever really had a nervous breakdown but, whwn I get to feeling like my life is unbareable, I try to think of other people who have life so much worse than I do, and also try to get out of the house, go shopping, go visit a friend, things like that. Always think that tomorrow is another day.\nIf you ever feel like you need a friend, you can write to me at katorak2604@yahoo.com or myspace/kat2604.\nHang in there and keep your head up, your not alone.
