It's a known fact that women are more stressed than men
According to New York Times, women do more unpaid work than men. Oh the domestic duties and career. This all leads to unavoidable stress.

-Poor digestion
-Depression

You need to manage stress in your own way.
Find what works for you and stick to it. What I do is;
-priorities what I need to do and what can be put away
-ask for help as often as I can, my sister don't try to do it all you are not a machine
-eat healthy!
-find time to spend time with loved ones
- tell myself I cannot come and die! and sleep when am overwhelmed

You only live once, live healthy!
