How does stress affect emotions?

How does stress affect emotions? Our body responds to stress by making stress hormones. These hormones help our body respond to situations of extreme need, such as when you are in danger. But when our body makes too many of these hormones for a long period of time, the hormones wear down our body -- and our emotions. People who are under stress a lot are often emotional, anxious, irritable and even depressed.
If possible, try to change the situation that is causing stress. Relaxation methods, such as deep breathing and meditation, and exercise are useful ways to cope with stress. Make time for things you enjoy. Focus on positive things in your life.
