ITS OFTEN SEEN THAT JOB LOSS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS. WHAT ARE THE DANGER SIGNS?
Unemployment creates a great deal of stress for the individual as well as the family. The more stress you feel over meeting financial demands or the more involved you were in your last job, the more distressed you are likely to feel. You may have symptoms and feelings such as fear, anxiety, shame, anger, guilt, loss of confidence and self-esteem, depression, irritability, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, and bad dreams. In addition, it is well known that chronic stress compromises the immune system, making one susceptible to colds, flu and other illnesses. How you manage these stressful feelings will determine its impact on your health.
