Are You Too Strong, Intelligent or Capable to be Stressed?
Are you aware of your stress? If you think you have no stress, you are most likely not aware of how stress is affecting you; you’re in denial. In fact, the stronger you think you are, the harder you may find that stress hits you with a powerful jolt. I know this from experience.

I sat on the sofa, pulled the cover over my head and wanted to disappear. I didn’t want to die.

The truth is other people are not responsible for any of these things. When you give others control over your feelings, thoughts and choices, you feel powerless.
