STRESS KILLS BRAIN CELLS

 CAUSES
O F S T R E S S
The situations that cause stress are known as stressors.
Not all stress is caused by external factors. Stress can also
be internal or self-generated. What causes stress depends.
Something stressful to you may not faze someone else.
CHILDHOOD TRAUMA
Some individuals experience long-term stress as a
result of a traumatic childhood. Children who live
in abusive homes, or who grow up living with an
alcoholic or drug abuser suffer more
psychological stress throughout adulthood.
death of a loved one
The Holmes-Raye Stress Assesment shows
that the death of a spouse can be one of the
most stressful events a person can face.
FINANCES
People who live in poverty, and individuals
who face overwhelming debt or bankruptcy
usually experience high levels of stress.
HEALTH
Working to get well, worrying about
medical costs, or dealing with an
unexpected health crisis or chronic
illness can all bring on stress.
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
Couples argue, parents and children fight
and occasionally conflict among friends or
co-workers can create stress.
BAD HABITS
If the stressor doesn’t go away, the
response will continue. Chronic stress is a
factor in behaviors such as over-eating or
not eating enough, alcohol or drug abuse,
and social withdrawal.
TROUBLE WITH DIGESTION
Stress can affect the way food moves
through your body, leading to diarrhea or
constipation. You might also experience
nausea, vomiting, or a stomachache.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Under stress, your heart pumps faster.
You’ll have more strength to take action,
but this raises your blood pressure. Higher
risks for having a stroke or heart attack.
weaken immune system
Stress hormones weaken the immune
system and reduce your body’s response to
foreign invaders. It can increase the time it
takes to recover from an illness or injury.
Tense muscle
if you’re constantly under stress, your
muscles may not get the chance to relax.
Tight muscles cause headaches, back and
shoulder pain, and body aches.
Watching your favorite show is the best
way to cope and relax from a hard long day
and severe stress, so do yourself a favor
watch your favorite show and relax.
Reading a book- Open your favorite book,
just sit back and relax, also be imaginative as
you indulge yourself in a world of fantasy.
Taking a Shower- Let go of all the stress, let
the water flow, and wash along the way as
you get tidy and relaxed when you finish.
Playing any type of game in general works
but for me, video games are my go-to type
of game. So press play and enjoy the action.
Sleeping- When you are stressed there is a
high chance that you are tired so get some
good sleep and rest in the cozy bed.
