Top 20 Signs of Stress

This is from my board pinoyexchange. Right now i think i am really under a lot of stress. After more than 10 years of service, i will be going home for good. No thank's to that CAC card that the US government implemented a few years back.

My company loss the contract and now the new company is just hiring expats and getting rid of all foreign nationals. I'm very thankful though for my company especially my manager for making a great effort in finding us a new job. I got one, but i felt that the new job is not for me. So i decided to just go home to my loving country.

Now let's see if i'm really stressed out. I will copy and paste all my signs at the bottom of this entry.

Below are the signs of stress you should keep tabs on:
1. Feeling sickly – you find yourself feeling sick a number of times throughout the week.
2. Physically sick – not only are you feeling sick, but you suffer from recurring cough, colds, sore throat, headaches.
3. Negatively aggressive – you are edgy, irritable, defensive.
4. Issues, issues, issues – you make an issue of things around you.
5. Enlarge them up – you enlarge small and minor things.
6. Fight round – you engage in colleague arguments every now and then.
7. Signs of aging – you become forgetful, unless you are hit hard by signs of aging, its not an excuse
8. Multi-task – you try to multi-task all the time. The truth is, you can’t focus.
9. Daydreaming – you day dream a lot.
10. Tired – you are tired of life, physically tired, emotionally tied
11. Coffee thirsty – you can’t start the day with energy without coffee. You can’t perform the whole day without your usual coffee schedule.
12. Procastinate – you are the king of procastination and argue you have other more important things to do
13. 25 hours – you wish there were more hours in a day than 24
14. Passively quiet – instead of being aggressive, you try to be passively quiet as often as possible.
15. Self-pity – you succumb to self-pity
16. Huge appetite – it takes four hours to digest food but you seem to be starving every hour and end up feeling bloated in the afternoon
17. Clutter – clutter is around you, some are simple receipts that have stayed for months or years around you.
18. Loser – you have low self-worth and feeling like a loser
19. Diminished social life – you missed a college reunion party, a friend’s birthday party, a wedding, etc.
20. People are your adversaries – you can’t seem to see the good of people around you. They seem to be adversaries in your life
