Stress And Your Mind
by Andrew John
Stress is dangerous also because it affects minds to, not only the bodies. We find ourselves frustrated and annoyed when we realize that we no longer are able to focus on anything for long, that our concentration is easily broken and our memory suffers from stress and stops remembering anything.
Stress is going to reduce your ability to logical thinking, but increase the strength of your emotional responses in return. This means that you are bound to react impulsively even in those situations that call for something different. It will be impossible to stay cool and panic attacks, anxiety and anger are going to become a part of your life, greatly impeding your activities both at work and at home.
What is worse, mental stress will sooner or later cause also physiological problems, just as any kind of stress does. What starts from aching muscles often ends in severe illnesses unless you start coping with your problems instead of avoiding them.
If you start feeling weak and weary due to your stress-induced physical problems, this sooner or later will affect your social role and functions. You will become much worse employee as even the simplest tasks will prove to be beyond your abilities. You will start to shout or cry for little or no reason, keeping your family on tips of their toes. And such situation will only aggravate your initial mental stress problems. If such vicious circle has been started, you have to look for help and break it as soon as possible - the worst is still ahead of you.
If you do nothing to cope with stress and let it grow, after a few years you will notice that your physical and mental condition will have gone to pieces. Heart diseases, obesity, muscle problems, arthritis, depression all of those conditions are likely to show up if you don't stop your stress now. If you choose to do nothing, you risk death whether due to your medical condition or a suicide attempt out of depression. This is a "do or die situation".
There is one thing you have to remember when you fight with your stress: you can't do it alone. External help and support is necessary for anyone to cope with their problems. All so-called "strong people" that can go through anything unscarred know that lesson well and rely on others instead of taking more problems on themselves than they could handle. Do as they do: find some help, rely on others and use a hand when it is given. This way you may end your stress-induced problems in no time - permanently!
