Stress is very common in all walks of life and in all occupations.
There are different kinds of stress, such as acute, episodic and
chronic. Each one has its own list of symptoms and triggers that set
it off. Chronic stress is the most dangerous one because it can affect
a persons health and welfare and lead to depression if he/she cannot
develop methods of stress relief. This is the gnawing feeling that
people encounter day after day. It can be related to work, an unhappy
marriage, money problems or a whole host of things that cause people
to become very unhappy with their lives. People who suffer from this
condition often cannot see anything good about their lives, It can
lead to suicide, heart attacks and as research has shown, cancer.
We hear all about post-traumatic stress disorder from men and women
who return from war and stressful situations. However, there are many
things that can cause this disorder, such as abuse in childhood, rape
or any other experience that may have been traumatic. People who are
suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder usually exhibit three
different types of symptoms:
Flashbacks where the person feels he/she is reliving the event
Avoidance where he/she works to avoid any situations that might bear
even a remote resemblance to the experience
Arousal where the person is easily startled or jumpy
Psychotherapy is one treatment that has met with a lot of success in
treating post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Using exercise as a form of stress relief has many benefits. New
research suggests that exercising as a way of stress management helps
people to improve their minds as well as their bodies because they
become fit, giving them a whole new feeling about themselves. Another
aspect of stress management involves making changes in your life to
help you reduce the events that trigger your episodes. In some cases
this may be a simple matter of getting out more often or it can mean
changing jobs or careers.
You have to think about what is causing you to become stressed and if
it is possible to avoid these things. Some events that can trigger
stressful episodes may be alleviated by simply changing your route to
work each day or gradually pulling away from friends that seem to be
depressing and pull you down. You can look at the way you respond to
certain incidents or people and if you feel stressed because it seems
that people are always invading your private time, you need to learn
to say "No" once in a while.
Stress symptoms can include not being able to sleep, constantly
worrying about things beyond your control and even aches and pains in
your body. These symptoms of stress can eventually lead to more
serious diseases such as heart problems. You do need to talk to
someone who can help, such as your doctor. If your work stress is the
cause of your illness and if you are experiencing problems with your
heart, the doctor may need to send you for a stress test to determine
whether or not there is a serious problem developing.
Teen stress is one of the leading causes of suicide among teenagers
who are unable to cope with all the pressures that seem to come at
them from all sides. Feeling left out of popular groups or being
constantly teased at school is one of the leading causes of teen
depression and has led to some teenagers actually shooting their
tormentors. Even a child as young as two or three years of age can
feel stressed when he/she is trying to live up to the parents
expectations of being a good boy or girl. School age children have
pressures on them from all sides schoolwork, parents and friends.
Stress balls and stress relievers are ways that people have used as
stress management techniques. The stress balls are small round balls
filled with beads or other squeezable material that you can squeeze.
The method may sound silly but many people swear by these stress
relievers because the squeezing motion affects not only your hand, but
your whole arm and seems to provide an outlet for the pent up stress
inside your body. Some stress reducing tips that might help you in
coping with stress are:
Take care of your body by exercising and eating well-balanced meals.
Learn to relax and if you need to stop once in a while and breathe
deeply, holding the breath to the count of 10.
Yoga is an excellent method of coping with stress because it teaches
you to relax and become more in tune with your inner self.
Try to look at situations in different lights and have a more positive
outlook on what you do.
Learn to live with what you have and this will make life a lot easier
on you.
If none of these tips work, you may need to seek the help of your
healthcare professional.
