Understanding Life Transitions & Chronic Stress
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes constant—or is triggered by major life changes—it can take a serious toll on your emotional and physical well-being.
Common transitions that can lead to emotional distress include:
- Career changes or job loss
- Parenthood or caregiving responsibilities
- Moving or adjusting to a new environment
- Divorce or relationship changes
- Loss of a loved one
- Returning to work or school
- Health challenges or diagnoses
Burnout, especially among professionals, parents, or caregivers, is increasingly common. A 2021 APA survey found that 79% of U.S. adults had experienced stress symptoms in the past month, with many citing work and family responsibilities as top stressors.
Signs That Stress May Be Affecting You:
- Constant fatigue, even after rest
- Headaches, tension, or muscle pain
- Irritability or mood swings
- Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally “numb”
- Trouble focusing or making decisions
- Sleep disturbances
- Withdrawal from others or reduced motivation
- Anxiety or low mood related to change
