2. Stress is the response your body has to the demands
made upon it. Originally the "flight or fight response," it
puts our bodies on alert to deal with potential trouble or
dangers. Heart rate and blood pressure increase,
hormone (such as adrenaline) and blood sugar levels rise,
and the mind turns to focus on the perceived threat.
Today, stress is an inevitable part of life; there's no way we
can completely avoid it. Nor would we want to-it
motivates us to plan ahead and to accomplish things. But
too much stress can cause all kinds of problems, especially
if it continues over a long period of time. It can lower our
immune systems, leading to colds or other illnesses, and
cause heart problems, ulcers, and depression.
3. Causes of stress are also known as "stressors". Stressors
may be physical or emotional in nature. They may be
generated internally, by our thoughts and feelings or
externally by something happening in our environment.
Stressor Stressors are perceived or experienced events,
situations, people, or demands.
4. The signs of stress can vary by person and by situation, but they often
include:
Psychological signs Behavioral signs Biological signs
Worrying Increased irritability Increased heart rate
Sleeplessness Accident proneness High blood pressure
Difficulty concentrating Changes in appetite Headaches
and/or sleep pattern
Feeling overwhelmed Indigestion or nausea
Muscle pain (especially in
the jaw, neck, or lower
back
5. Like the signs of stress, coping strategies can vary by
person. Strategies may be positive or negative. Some
examples of negative strategies include: drinking
alcohol or using drugs, over- or under-eating, or
becoming irritable.
