What is stress?
Stress can be a response to positive or negative events. For instance preparing for your wedding or purchasing a home can be stressful but they are considered as positive stress. Because the situation is perceives as stressful, a person going through theses type of experiences may feel overwhelmed, irritable and not in control. Stress can also be negative. For instance going through divorce, facing court-related issues, and financial difficulties are considered negative acute stress because they involve feelings such as guilt, shame, fear, worries, and anxiety. However, often we may feel overwhelmed and stressed out just going through day-to-day responsibilities, in which case we may be experiencing chronic stress. This means that our threshold to cope might have decreased due to various factors related to our past such as, suppressed feelings, and unresolved conflicts. Chronic stress is detrimental to health. If you are feeling that you may have been experiencing chronic stress, consulting a psychologist and learning stress management can be useful to you.
