Stress is an inevitable part of life. It gives
people an opportunity to behave better toward surrounding stimulus. If you are
not stressed, you are died because it means that you do not have enough energy
to react to the stimulus coming from environment. On the other hand, excessive
stress can be fatal. In this case, people waste excessive energy. This causes

Stress affects the health in terms of body, mood and behaviors.

the primary effect of stress is on your body. Stress leads to some problems

anxiety are the consequences of stress. When you are stressed, you cannot
motivate on something easily. At the same time, you feel anxious yourselves.
For example, a hardworking student failed in an exam even though he knew
everything. It could be because of stress. As he was stressed and felt anxious,
he could not focus on his exam. Also, stress results in irritability and restlessness.
If you are stressed, you can be more irritable and you can offend your friends

rebuff your colleague when they ask you about work. Furthermore, you can have
sleep problems because of stress. For instance, when you cannot get enough
sleep, you can feel tired and sleep at work or school.
Finally,
your behaviors are affected by stress. When you are stressed, it causes angry
outbursts. It means that you can wreak
your anger on somebody. For example, when you got angry for getting low mark in
exam, you could accuse your friend for listening music while you were studying.
Moreover, stress causes overeating or under eating. When you feel stressed, you
can eat much more or less. Furthermore, drug and alcohol abuse are results of
stress. When you start to use drug or alcohol, they cause addiction. As they
numb your brain, you can feel relaxed. Therefore, you want to use them to feel
calm constantly. Also, stress affects your social life. You can have the sense of loneliness and
isolation. You can feel overwhelmed. As a result of this, you can not want to
take part in crowded places or any activity.
