Smoking

Turning to that butt will not help you deal with stress. In fact, it will add to more health issues and slowly kill you. Deal with stress by taking a walk and not with a cigarette.

Coffee Addiction

Caffeine is a drug which helps to calm your mind at some point but an overdose of coffee can kill you. The properties present in coffee will increase heart beat rapidly and can cause the heart to fluctuate or palpitate.

Lack Of Exercise

If you are under stress, work it out at the gym instead of lying around and doing nothing about it. Lack of exercise will make you obese, lazy and puts your system to sleep.

Eating For The Heart

One of the worst unhealthy responses to stress is eating for the heart and not with the mind. Overeating is a common bad habit many turn to, in order to get rid of stress.

Spending Too Much

Becoming a spendthrift can put you in soup. Spending too much unnecessarily is an unhealthy habit as it soon becomes an addiction.

Turning To The Bottle

Alcohol combined with smoking is everyone's favourite stress buster. This is another unhealthy habit people have when stressed.

Negativity Over Positiveness

The moment negativity takes charge of your mind, you're doomed. This unhealthy habit of stressed people should be replaced with positivity and a little help from the ones who love you.

Sleeping Less?

Lack of sleep causes a ton of health issues. When you lack sleep, it causes hallucinations, impulsive behaviour, depression and more.

Sleeping More...

Sleeping too much is another unhealthy habit people have when stressed. This will make you lazy and lethargic. Pull yourself together and beat the stress to live a happier life.
