A small amount of stress andanxiety can sometimes be helpful to achieve goals, react effectively to situations and to grow and improve as a person. When you are excessively stressed or if it causes prolonged or repeated feelings of emotional discomfort and mental turmoil, this can cause mental and physical illness and must be addressed so that it does not get out of hand. If stressful feelings are ruining your life, this is neither acceptable or inevitable.
