Stress is not a weakness. It is usually something carried alone for too long.
Targets, long hours, and a job that follows you home.
Rotating shifts, broken sleep, and never quite catching up.
Lying awake going over the same thoughts.
Thinking through every way something could go wrong.
Snapping at people you care about, and feeling bad after.
Tired all the time, even after a day off.
Responsibilities at home with nobody to share them.
Headaches, a tight chest or a racing heart when the pressure is on.

Free calming tool
When the mind is racing, slow breathing tells the body it is safe. Follow the circle: breathe in as it grows, hold, and breathe out slowly as it shrinks. Six rounds, about a minute and a half.
A calming exercise, not medical care. If you often feel breathless or your chest feels tight, see a doctor.
Press start when you are ready
Puducherry, long known as Pondicherry, is the capital of the Union Territory of the same name, a coastal city of old French streets, colleges, hospitals and offices, with Tamil spoken all around it.
It draws students from across the country, nurses and doctors on long shifts, and young people living away from home for the first time. Pressure here often comes quietly: exams, careers, relationships, and families far away.
What is causing the pressure, and which parts you can change.
How stress shows up for you: in thoughts, sleep, temper or the body.
Breathing, planning, boundaries and ways to switch off.
Trying them in daily life, and adjusting at the next session.
