Work brings a lot of demands, problems, and frustrations in our daily lives because of all the workload and stress it brings. Even if you’re working in a company or job you love, it can still be stressful. What more for a job you don’t like, let’s say for example you’re an artistic person who works in a banking job in Myanmar? Just imagine the conflict on your mind and soul if you’re in the same situation. However, if you took a job to finance bills and requirements, still, it may stress you as well. Check out these 6 warning signs telling you that you’re too stressed at work.

Losing focus
Remember the days when you felt so alive? This may be before you started to work. As the months or years passed by, you started to lose concentration and lost your focus. You have difficulty in doing a task nowadays or remember a recent occurrence that happened when you were trying to recall something, may be caused by your stress.

Getting sick
Getting sick usually happens when your body doesn’t cope with the environment or doesn’t get the right rest the person needs. Another one could be the effect done by the workload which causes stress too much. Cough and colds are the most common types of sickness that might last for a couple of months. This is due to stress and environment around you.

Body pain
As you work, you tend to sit down for long hours and work on your computer so you don’t have the time to exercise that much anymore causing you pain on your neck, back, and hands. The body doesn’t get to move that much anymore, thus, resulting to pain. Imagine that you have to do this for long hours 5-6 days a week, no doubt that there’s a huge possibility for body pain.

Sleeping troubles
The stress you bring home from work has a chance that you won’t be able to sleep well as you worry about work resulting to insomnia or just the inability to sleep better. It’s certainly hard due to the many factors in and out of the workplace.

Feeling drained
Lastly, stressed employees feel drained most days because of all these factors mentioned and probably other personal reasons which cause them stress. Feeling drained happens when you lose motivation, see no purpose, and get bored most of the time. You lose yourself as you work; “alienation” is also another term for it. This is perhaps the most obvious sign telling you that you feel stressed.
