Anything that poses a challenge or a threat to our wellbeing is a stress. Some stresses get you going and they are good for you—without any stress at all many say our lives would be boring and would probably feel pointless. However, when the stresses undermine both our mental and physical health they are bad. Here we shall be focusing on stress that is bad for you.
Stress is the feeling we have when under pressure, while stressors are the things we respond to in our ples of stressors are noises, unpleasant people, a speeding car, or even going out on a first date. Generally (but not always), the more stressors we experience, the more stressed we feel.
When we are stressed the following happens：
Blood pressure rises.
Breathing becomes more rapid.
heart rate (pulse) rises.
Muscles become tense.
We do not sleep (heightened state of alertness)．
Most of us have varying interpretations of what stress is about and what matters. Some of us focus on what happens to us, such as breaking a bone or getting a promotion, while others think more about the event itself. How you see that stressful event will be the largest single factor that impacts on your physical and mental health. Your interpretation of events and challenges in life may decide whether they are invigorating or harmful for you.
There are three broad methods you can follow to treat stress.
Self help for treating stress
Exercise has been proven to have a beneficial effect on a person's mental and physical state. For many people exercise is an extremely useful stress buster.
Alcohol and drugs will not help you manage your stress better. Either stop consuming them completely, or cut down.
If your consumption of coffee and other drinks which contain caffeine is high, cut down.
Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Make sure you have a healthy and balanced diet.
Talk to you family, friends, work colleagues and your boss. Express your thoughts and worries.
Stress management techniques
Stress management can help you to keep away from the source of stress, change the way you view a stressful event, and lower the impact that stress might have on your body. Stress management therapy will have the objective of pursuing one or more of these approaches.
Medicines
Doctors will not usually prescribe medications for coping with stress, unless the patient has an underlying illness, such as depression or some type of anxiety. If that is the case, the doctor is actually treating a mental illness. In such cases, an antidepressant may be prescribed. Bear in mind that there is a risk that all the medication will do is mask the stress, rather than help you deal and cope with it.
