+Sleep Disturbance- With mental and emotional stress, our mind races at night- unable to turn of the never-ending roll of footage related to the stressors. Stress can also leave us completely exhausted and reluctant to want to get up and start the day or feel as if we have the energy to take on our daily tasks. This results in over-sleep.

+Physical Ailments- As the body works to fight the antigen presented, all systems work together in response. The nervous system and muscles are constantly being engaged to prepare the body for "fight or flight." This can lead to overactive nervous and strained muscles.
+Mental Blockage- When our minds work to get all our systems in order for responding to a threat, our high cognitive processes suffer. We are unable to plan, remember important information, lose common words, names or phrases, and change our attitude and perspective on life.
