We all have negative thoughts that pop up now and then. They are little cause for concern unless we focus on them. When we focus on negative thoughts too long we can trigger the fight-or-flight response whose whole duty is to prepare us for action. We end up in a high state of alarm that we call stress.
 
When stressed it's hard to 'catch our breath' because breathing is more shallow. It's hard to swallow, our hands may sweat, our heart beat speeds up and our hands, our head, or even our whole body may start to shake. Stress is hard on the body and can deplete our energy leading to feelings of helplessness and despair. Long term stress can increase your risk for some health problems, like depression. Stress triggers changes in our bodies that can compromise our immune system—making us more likely to get sick. People who live high-stressed lives generally aren't able to fight off illness as well.
