Stress :/
Well, stress is in everyones life. Some Vocabulary that I have put together is... Stress: the reaction of the body and mind to everyday challenges and demands Stressor: anything that causes stress Eustress: a positive stressor Distress: a negative stressor Perception: the art of becoming aware through stress Misconception: ill-formed or unrealistic ideas about a situation or thought Anxiety: feelings of unease and or worry Psychosomatic: physical response resulting from stress Now. Here is my point to this forum. (Hopefully these words help.) I want to know three things that stress you out in your every day life, and what you do, or can do, to help with that. Mine: Family/Lack There Of: My parents are dead, my aunt and nana are dying, so I am losing everyone. It stresses me constantly. So far all I do about it is ignore it and push it off. OCD: I let myself comppulse and obsess and it actually calms me. If things go wrong or are bad or anything, I will flip and I have no solution to it. Anxiety Disorder: This causes so much stress... I walk through the halls at school and have a panic attack cause there are to many people. I can't eat in the café. Cant go to a store without shopping. Tis horrible. So how about you? |
I have just plain old anxiety and a bit of social anxiety (which really isn't that bad anymore). I get panic attacks when my hormones are fluctuating during -that- time of the month, but most people don't realize it and the people who do are the people I've chosen to tell about it. I've had panic attacks where I've convinced myself that everyone in my family was out to kill me...or worse. The thing is that those kind of horrible panic attacks are just caused by my hormonal fluctuations. I believe that they cause my mind to take down the barriers that keep all of my stress in check. My body starts shaking and I try and inconspicuously make my body as small as possible (wrapping my arms around myself and whatnot) without others noticing, since I'm cursed with having panic attacks in public. I'm hoping that they go away with age, or that birth control helps with the hormonal fluctuations whenever I find myself having to do that.
To deal with regular stressors, though, I run in the summer and sometimes I do a little yoga in the winter. I also turn off all the lights in my room and sit in the dark meditating so that my mind can calm down and doesn't have the ability to see anything that will set it off. I like to play ambient music, then, too because it makes my mind shut up. |
