Notable Quotes

• Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.
• When you're going through something when you're facing something, when something is overwhelming, when you feel stressed, or you have a lot going on, it doesn't only affect you, it affects those closest to you as well. 
• A lot of times, when someone is stressed, overwhelmed and they have too much on their plate, they usually shut everyone else out.
• Stress can affect us physically. It can change our libido, we may not even have the desire to want to have sex, it can crowd our mind, and we can't even get in the mood mentally, to even desire to have sex.
•  If you don't talk to your partner, if you don't talk to your spouse, they don't know. All they see is the reactions. All they see is your response.
