Don't let stress get the best of you Many Berkeley students identify time management, academic and performance pressure and communication as key areas that cause stress. Sometimes stress can be beneficial-it can motivate and energize. But often it is harmful, and affects your physical, mental and emotional health. Some common stress symptoms include headaches, stomachaches, backaches, cold sores, fatigue, insomnia, crying, impatience, anger, anxiousness, depression, isolation, alcohol and other drug use, a change in eating habits, sexual activity or sleeping. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, be sure to seek help.
