Stress - Symptoms and Coping

 

            Stress is a feeling with which most of us are way too familiar. It has become part of our everyday lives. We have to learn to live with it, deal with it, and also worry about stress. With our lives today many things can cause stress. The areas we live in, the harsh economy, our jobs we work, and also our way of living are all some of the many things that can bring stress into a person's life. Although everyone may feel stressed, it does not mean they feel the same level of stress. Different factors or events that impact our lives can cause us to haver lower or higher levels of stress. .
             We can have stress caused by having cataclysmic events, which are events that effect a variety of people at the same time. Plane crashes, terrorist attacks, tornados and some other natural disasters are examples of a cataclysmic event that could happen. Events such as divorce, losing your job, and the death of a loved one or close acquaintance are some factors of personal stressors. Background stressors are another cause of stress, which are cause by things that effect our everyday life. It is important that we learn to deal with all levels of stress good and bad. .
             Just like everyone else, I have had times where I have been stressed. I have felt many levels of stress caused by different events that have occurred in my life. By being stressed I could feel the many effects it has on my attitude and mood. One major cause of stress for me today is school. There are many things that come with being a student. Although being a student in school can be a very good experience and opportunity, it can also be extremely stressful. With going to school students have to carry a lot on their backs. With me being a college student teachers will assign homework which at times takes hours to finish. It also takes hours to study for tests and quizzes. Homework is not the only thing holding me down. I also have to work to pay off the fees the school requires students to pay.
