WHAT IS STRESS?
Stress is the response to our environment mostly when someone feel a sense of danger or threatened by an existing event or an event with chances to occur. When a person feels threatened or worried about some events in life or in a particular moment, their body releases a chemical commanded by the brain to response to situation in a "Fight or Flight" Manner. This situation results in rise in blood pressure, heart-rate, tightening of muscle cells and increase in breathing rate.
Stress is a common experience by nearly all human beings in this world, but the fact that matters is that how a person handles it and if he/she fails then how much it affects their physical and mental health.
Physical Symptoms:
1. Headaches
2. Indigestion
3. Body pain, tense muscles
4. Chest pain
5. Frequent cold
6. Chronic stress can weaken the immune system
7. Grinding teeth and clenched jaw
8. Insomnia (inability to sleep)
9. Loss of hunger, etc.
Behavioral Symptoms:
1. Unable to focus
2. Problems in decision making
3. Pessimistic (only seeing the negative aspect)
4. Numerous thoughts in mind
5. Persistent worrying
6. Lapse of memory, etc.
Stress is a normal part of life so being in stress is not a matter to worry which can apparently increase your existing stress, regardless of being in stress the thing that matters is how to respond to it and handle it. Though a particular topic can be so stressful to someone and that same can be not a matter to think of to other, which means reason of stress can be subjective.
Many people can easily get out of that but some fail to resist it and can fall in the deep well of Chronic Stress (Long-Term Stress), and this has a list of effects:
- Depression, anxiety, and sometimes personality disorder
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Menstrual problems
- Hair fall, acne and skin problems
- Obesity
- Sexual dysfunction
- Gastrointestinal problems
Should you be Stressed for being Stressed ?
Or How Can You HELP Yourself ?
NO!
As mentioned earlier, it is normal in a human life. So the thing you should be more focused is a way out of here, and this can be by yourself or by taking help or sharing the problem or the bad feeling with someone you trust and believe, like your parents, siblings, partner, friend or maybe with a Psychiatrist. You can do meditation, yoga, or some breathing exercises like anulom-vilom or kapalbharati. There is a main factor that matters in your well-being, that, Do You Want to Free your mind again to perform function in its most efficiency ???
Just keep in mind, "It's never too late, cause it can be worse."
