Stress. What is stress? Am I stressed?
Are you stressed? I am always surprised by the number of people that contact me and say they are feeling unwell, but they are unsure what is wrong, and after talking to them by email I inform them that I think they are stressed. This is something that they perhaps had not considered but after sitting down and thinking about it, realise that this is the problem. Stress can be brought on by a number of things. So below are all the symptoms of stress and then also the main reasons for making us feel stressed. Before reading this list, you should be aware that the body does need a certain amount of stress, and what should happen is after a short period of stress our bodies return to normal quite quickly. The problems really start to take place once this system breaks down, and our bodies do not return to normal, but stay at a high level all day, and then sometimes into the evening or night time. The Emotional Symptoms Anxiety Nervousness Worry Depression Anger Irritability Guilt Moodiness A loss of enjoyment in life Loneliness Feeling tearful Loss of humour Loss of confidence Isolation Dissatisfaction in your job The Physical Symptoms Feelings Restless Feeling Uptight Feeling Jumpy High Blood Pressure Palpitations Muscle tensions in the neck and back Headaches Poor Sleep Fatigue A lack of energy Pain Dry Mouth Weakness Dizziness Trembling Grinding of the teeth A frequent need to pass water. Diarrhoea and constipation Butterflies in the stomach A loss or increase in appetite Ringing in the Ears Cramp The Behavioural Symptoms Impatience Impulsiveness Hyperactivity Short temper Aggressiveness Becoming accident-prone Avoiding difficult situations An increase in smoking The use of prescribed drugs The use of illegal drugs Alcohol abuse Absentessism Poor work performance A loss of sex drive Being uncooperative Overworking Compulsion and obsessions. The kinds of situations that can trigger stress are: Work Stress It is suggested that work is the biggest cause of stress in the western world today. The pace of change in the way we work has never been as great. People have to cope with new information technology, longer working hours and short-term contracts. A job is no longer for life. As job insecurity increases people are more likely to remain in a job that is perhaps safe but not necessarily suited to them. Family & Relationship Stress People experience high levels of stress in their relationships. From marital conflict and difficult children to alcoholism and violence the problems are wide and varied. These issues need to be properly addressed otherwise the consequences can be serious leading to separation, divorce and family breakdown. The Stress of a Bereavement The loss of a loved one is a devastating life experience. When we lose someone close, it is natural to go through a process of mourning. The emotions and stages of the grieving process will vary from person to person. First there is the initial shock of the loss and at this time it is common to experience a feeling of numbness. Anger, guilt, and despair follow as the reality of the loss deepens. This is followed by recovery as the person accepts the bereavement and begins to rebuild their life. It is important to acknowledge the grief and talk to someone close. The Stress of Financial Problems Financial problems obviously cause an enormous amount of stress, The loss of a job, and addiction to gambling or mounting bills can lead to family tensions. Ignoring the problem will only make matters worse. When faced with money worries it is important not to panic. Instead talk to your debtors and set a realistic budget. The Stress of Change Changes in your life, however big or small, whether positive or negative can create stress. Major changes such as starting a new job, getting married or moving house can challenge our abilities to cope. This is particularly true if we experience too many changes in a short period of time. Although chance is an inevitable part of life, it makes sense to plan ahead. Whenever possible do not take on too much at once. Environmental Stress Our environment is a big factor in the cause of stress, We have to contend with crowded trains, and roads, noisy traffic and polluted cities. These conditions can lead to health related problems such as asthma, allergies and migraine headaches. We cannot easily escape the environment we live in. However healthy eating, exercise and regular breaks can help us to better cope with the stresses and strains of city life. Hypnosis is an effective therapy that can help with a wide range of stress and habit related problems, most clients are pleasantly surprised by how natural they feel and certainly of how fully aware they are of everything they are experiencing. Hypnosis can provide the key to the subconscious mind and facilitate new ways of dealing with difficulties.
