Here are some of the things that can overwhelm the body's ability to cope if they continue for a long time:being bullied or exposed to violence or injuryrelationship stress, family conflicts, or the heavy emotions that can accompany a broken heart or the death of a loved oneongoing problems with work related to a work overload, conflicts with colleagues or job dissatisfactioncrammed schedules, not having enough time to rest and relax, and always being on the goSome stressful situations can be extreme and may require special attention and care.
