Dealing with stress for longer than a few weeks without even trying to minimize its impact on you is a short way to suffer from long-term stress. Unless you react fast, you're in a real danger of serious health problems.

The first signs of chronic stress are depression and problems with keeping one's temper down. While they are bad enough, they are only a beginning. Soon after first bursts of rage, a stressed person starts to suffer from various health conditions. high blood pressure is probably the easiest to notice since it is the main reason for stress-induced deaths. So, soon after you become chronically stressed, you will have to start taking more and more pills from a doctor only to maintain your present health.

Unfortunately, prolonged stress is capable of doing much more damage than increasing the chance of a heart attack. It also shuts down your digestive system, making it impossible to eat anything without risking severe digestive problems, and shuts down (partially) our immunological system making us more prone to any disease that comes by.

Eating disorders are the next on the list of most dangerous stress-related problems. The psychological mechanism of stress can drive us to anorexia or to being extremely overweight. We cease to treat food as food - it inevitable becomes our enemy or dearest friend that can soothe our pain. Needless to say, that's not everything you can expect from long-time stress. As our ability to manage diet problems is reduced, such extreme cases as stress-induced diabetes are becoming more and more common among stress affected people.

Last, but not least, stressed people ten do to suffer from insomnia. With so high blood pressure and subsequent adrenalin secretion, it is extremely hard to go to sleep. As the result they are more and more tired which leads to feeling even more stressed. The sleeping pills are one of the most common solutions - but they will cause their share of problems later, when their negative effects on the stomach and brain start to be obvious.
