Our mind is hard-wired to protect ourselves to survive, causing us to filter and pay more attention to unhelpful or negative experiences (i.e. thoughts and emotions). We can get consumed by struggling to understand our experience and wanting to know why it is happening. Ever noticed how you reason and try to change your thoughts and emotions? We do this thinking our efforts will reduce our stress or unwanted experience. 

Our body's stress response reacts by sending more threatening messages to your mind/brain to be interpreted. You end up with side effects like wanting to cry and not knowing why, being more reactive, a sense something bad is going to happen, brain fog (i.e. attention, concentration, memory, decision making), unexplained tiredness, no motivation, wanting to isolate and withdrawal from others. This becomes problematic when your stress normalises or is long-term, and you find you get more stressed more easily.
