Get free help for stress today from helpline in Canada

Most people feel stressed from time to time, but when everyday pressures become too much to bear, it can put a lot of strain on your mental wellbeing. If you notice any of the following negative experiences associated with stress, there are 9 hotlines in Canada you can contact for support:

  • Sleep disturbances; sleeping excessively or not sleeping at all.
  • Procrastinating or avoiding responsibilities.
  • Having difficulty relaxing and unwinding.
  • Rapid heartbeat and chest pain.
  • High blood pressure and hypertension.
  • Pulling back from your loved ones.
  • Teeth grinding and clenching jaw.
  • Irritable, angry, and impatient.

Stress saps your energy and steals your joy. When you're stressed, it's hard to be present because you become so focused on the source of your anxiety. While a little bit of stress can be helpful because it motivates you to take action, too much stress can make you want to give up.

If you have been battling with stress for a while, then you could benefit from some extra support. There are hotlines in Canada who support people experiencing stress. Whether you just need somebody to listen to you, or you need practical advice, there are dedicated counselors and volunteers you can count on.

If you think you might need support with stress today, consider contacting a helpline in Canada for free, confidential help.
