| Text Based NOTES Review: me vs myself = internal conflict and include dealing with one's emotions/feelings, stress and self concept Stress and Stress Management Stress = the body's reaction to change specifically, change it does not expect, does not want or feels threatened by Eustress = positive stress Distress = negative stress. All stress can be negative if we don't know how to handle it. For example, a wedding is a wonderful, beautiful time for husband and wife and all the bridal party, families and friends. It is however a very stressful time. If wedding planning is done 1 thing at a time in a realistic goal with shared responsibilities, it will stay positive. If the wife is doing everything herself and things start going wrong..it's negative. Stress ends up effecting all areas of PISES and can lead to heart disease, muscle tension, confusion, loss of sleep, depression, isolation from friends, poor grades and bad decisions. When a person is effected by a stressor (something that causes stress), which is different for everyone, their body reacts the fight or flight response. Heart rate increases, breathing rate increases, digestive system slows down, and the body prepares itself as if it was a real fight. This is because of primitive animal instincts within all animals. Stress management techniques such as creating lists of things to do, deep breathing, making "me time", goal setting, object manipulation, exercise and many others, can be helpful in assisting someone in managing stress Stress and lack of coping skills leading to depression: As you may have read on the "emotions" page, if a person is suffering from stress OR perceives they have stressors in the life they do not know how to manage OR lack the ability to have positive expressions of feelings, these can all lead to various negative expressions of the emotions including anger control problems, violence, drug and alcohol use, isolation, or self hurting such as scratching and cutting one's self. The reasons vary on why these are the possible reactions but the overall summary is that they are trying to "feel" better or trying to "escape" or rather "relieve" the emotional pain. Lack of coping or management of stressors and emotions can lead to negative self image as well as depression. Depression can be debilitating. It is important for young people in particular to recognize that no matter how bad it is, things can ALWAYS get worse. It is up to each of us as an individual to find what HEALTHY, POSITIVE method or technique works to help alleviate our stress and manage our stressors. We should never purposly hurt someone else or ourselves! |
