8 Reasons Why You Might Be Unhappy With Your Life (2 of 5)

2. You experience pains and muscle spasms out of the blue

You notice aches and pains in your muscles and joints that seem to have come from nowhere. The soreness is similar to a heavy workout, and yet you haven’t been to the gym. One of the culprits could be stress. Studies have found that an increase in adrenaline caused by stress can lead to joint pain, soreness, and involuntary muscle spasms. Of course, there are other potentially serious explanations, and for this reason it is best to see your doctor when you start feeling these symptoms.

3. You don’t have the energy to make it through the day

You are constantly feeling tired even when you haven’t exerted yourself. A physical exam, X-rays, and blood tests don’t indicate that anything is out of whack. This doesn’t eliminate the possibility that you have a health condition that needs to be further examined, but stress is a leading cause of lethargy. You are essentially burning yourself out because the constant stress saps your energy. Feeling tired and unfocused certainly prevents you from being the person you want to be.
