Young Americans Feel More Overwhelmed Than People Older Than 45

In a new survey Gen X and Baby Boomers are answer the question "how many days a month do you feel overwhelmed" almost identically. It was 3 days a month for Boomers, 2 for X'ers.

Millennial's are having the roughest go at life feeling overwhelmed 17 days a month. Gen Z'ers are a little better at about 12 per month.

So, what’s causing all this overwhelm? It’s not work or finances, in fact the biggest thing young Americans find overwhelming is actually their social life (88%). Digital life (83%) comes in a close second, followed by their diet (81%).

Choosing healthy foods can make them feel overwhelmed (45%), along with staring at a screen for too long (42%), grocery shopping (40%), maintaining relationships (38%), social media (35%) and even just finding time to hang out with friends and family (32%).
