    • Chanelle Miller

  • Internal Stress

      Internal Stress is when your body stresses about situation that you have no control over. This is a very dangerous kind of stress! Most mothers deal with this kind. For example, if their son or daughter were on a school trip and they were stressed about their safety and health but yet they can't do anything to help the situation.
