Stress.. Environmental Events of the Challenging Kind..

[HappytheStripper]

Do you find yourself in stressful situations.. ?? Do you remember the event that caused such stress..??

It seems to me.. a large majority of people under the influence of stress.. cannot remember the event that caused them stress.. because they were immersed and focusing on the act of.. stress itself

I think being stressed would possibly cause me.. more stress.. as I am not usually the type of person to stress over any situation..

I am propelled into thinking about stress.. due to my good friend.. whom is currently undergoing some major life changes.. and he is stressing.. and I dont understand why he is stressing.. because this state of being is not in my nature.. so.. I'm turning to Hypographies greatest.. to gain understanding.. not necessarily of the biological kind.. more of the mental kind.. and the emotional kind.. thanks..

My current beliefs are.. stress is a challenge of the environmental kind.. when a person is challenged to act/respond in a particular way..

Anyone else care to enlighten me.. Thanks Ashley

I try to convert stress into intensity, locate it's source, and then act out the ritual I must perform to ease the knot in my space/time muscle.

Stress is there because it has helped survival. Our biological evolution is still catching up to our societal and technological evolution, hence mechanisms previous beneficial are now often the opposite.

Some people are even addicted to stress. Our cells get used to the flood of delicious cortisol and adrenaline, and then become desensitized to it, hence needing more. The cells then respond by sending more and more “hey, send down more cortisol” messages to the brain, and the self-reinforcing cycle perpetuates.

Check out the links within this site to drill into a bit more. Fish are stressed too? Maybe they should go for a swim.

Evolution of Stress Symposium

From the different link which I tied to the photo:

"We think that addicts may react to emotional stress in the same way that their stress hormone system reacts to the metyrapone test," says Dr. Kreek. At the slightest provocation, CRF and other stress-related neurotransmitters pour out into the brain, producing unpleasant emotions that make the addict want to take drugs again, she suggests. Since life is filled with little provocations, addicts in withdrawal are constantly having their stress system activated, she concludes.

Anyway, good luck to your friend. His good times would lose all meaning and significance if it weren't for these tough times. Cheers.

I remember reading somewhere.. the most stressful event in life.. next to the death of a loved one.. is divorce.. or the ending of a significant relationship..

Where as I consider the most stressful event in life to be.. constant change.. and my ability to keep up with change.. I have this moment discovered.. why it is I do not stress.. I see every event that occurs in my life as.. a challenge.. and I enjoy a challenge of any kind.. as these are the times when I get to learn and sharpen up on skills in Problem Solving..

Aside from death and divorce.. there are many events in a persons life.. where stress occurs.. and knowing why and where this stress occurs.. is an important step in relieving ones' life of stress..

I have listed in order.. Lifes Top Ten Most Stressful Events..

Death of spouse.. Divorce.. Marital separation.. Jail term or death of close family member.. Personal injury or illness.. Marriage.. Loss of job due to termination.. Marital reconciliation or retirement.. Pregnancy.. Change in financial state..

How many of these have caused you stress..?? Although this list is very simple.. it serves as a pre-cursor to stress..
