Stress is an adjustment disorder (ICD-10). What does that mean? It means that you have difficulties adjusting to a new situation.

School or university is finished and you are willing to start working. You feel grown up and are waiting to prove the skills you have learnt. You are hungry for success and are willing to give what it needs to succeed.

When we live a life that is in an equilibrium we do not spotlight the stress even though it exists. On the other hand there is enough relaxation to compensate for the stress we experience. In short this can be called positive stress.

Why are you stressed? You often do not realise that being in the moment will ease your stress. Sometimes you keep worrying and you are surprised you do not find any answers but that is because you're thinking in circles. The question is of course how can you get out of thinking in circles.
