They can feel similar, but they aren’t always the same. Stress is often linked to a specific situation, while anxiety can persist even when the situation has passed.
Understanding the difference can help you recognise what you’re experiencing and know when to seek support.
The pressure may look different for everyone.
Work
Family
Money
School
Expectations.
So, don’t forget to pause. Rest when you can. Pay attention to how you’re feeling, and give your mental health the same attention you give everything else.
Your mental health matters too. 💚
Stress isn't always the enemy.
But when the pressure becomes constant and your mind and body don't get enough time to recover, it can start taking a toll.

the stress that comes along with the 700.
There are truly no right or wrong answers because individuals see issues from different prisms: I may see 6 where my colleague sees 9 and both of us may be correct."
If i take the 700,000 Job and get critically psychologically ill from the stress and psychological trauma that evolves around my job, i may spend much more than the high salary to seek proper medical care.
Peace of mind is golden and the worth of the 450 will far out weight
@glory_damilare@EmekaEnumah99@SamsonEmekaNdu2 Mental health conversations should not only happen when someone has reached a crisis point. Sometimes, awareness and early conversations are part of prevention.
One thing yesterday reminded us of: people can carry difficult experiences for years without ever having the language to describe what is happening to them.
So glad that we finally got to talk about PTSD with FRSC officers ✌🙌
