Difference Between Anxiety And Stress

Fall in love, fall out of love, take a job, buy a house, take a trip, quit your job, accept a promotion whatever you do, everything is involved with stress. What is stress for one may not be stress for others. Thus, stress is a pressure, frustration, tension that prevents you from working more effectively. Whereas, anxiety is a feeling of fear, panic, worries or hesitation. Both stress and anxiety have negative impact on the person going through it.

Stress is a feeling that finishes as soon as you finish the related work. It is just for small time duration for an explicit reason. But, anxiety is a feeling of worries, fear and tension that remains constant throughout your working hours. When the stress goes overloaded it ultimately leads to anxiety which may make small issues bigger. Physically you have a knot in your stomach, headaches, pounding heart and your fight or flight mental signals are on alert. But in reality there is nothing going on in your environment. Stress on the other hand, is related to actual situations such as bankruptcy, divorce, fight with a loved one etc.
