This question comes up again and again, and unfortunately, it cannot be answered in a general way. The symptoms of too much stress are very similar to those of physical exhaustion. You feel worn out, experience anxiety, don't get enough sleep, can hardly focus, and your head hurts. In such cases, the body gives clear signals - all you have to do is listen. How long it takes to recover from stress depends on the following factors: Your general mental state The intensity of the stress you've experiencedDuration of the stressAbility to relax, cope with stress, and implement healthy habits into your daily routine (exercise, diet, sleep, the ability to manage anxiety and performance pressure) For mild stress and short-term health problems, a cozy evening with a cup of tea and a few drops of CBD oil can already work wonders. If you are on the verge of burnout, it will take you days or weeks to experience the first signs of recovery.
