Stress And Your Mind

Effects of stress are not limited to our bodies. Perhaps our minds suffer even more as they change themselves from solution finders into sources of stressful thoughts. Yes, one of common causes of stress is the so-called mental stress coming from lack of ability to focus, short concentration period and feeling of weakness and lack of will to do anything.

Even worse than that, stress gets also into our feelings. We can be overcome with any feeling ranging from anger and sadness to panic with no prior warning. This makes living and especially solving the problem you have extremely difficult as such mood changes make you extremely vulnerable and prevent you from handling many issues in your lives much harder.

When your mind gives up, the body will soon follow. Tightened muscles are the sign that your body does not relax properly and is in a state of a constant alert. This leads to weariness, digestive and sleeping problems, not to mention increased blood pressure.

Oftentimes physical effects of mental stress will help form an vicious circle, because they start to cause more mental problems. If you feel extremely tired, you may refuse to get out of the bed in the morning. This will cause you feel lazy and certainly increase your stress at work (when you finally get there) and impede your family function. This will make you feel down and stressed about your own behavior which in turn result in more physical problems. If you feel like this, you have to find some external help - quickly.

The last phase of stress problems takes all your existing problems to the extreme. High blood pressure may cause a heart attack. Digestive problems may result in obesity, tightened muscles and lowered immune system efficiency end in muscle and bone problems and generally lowered performance of your body invites diabetes and other chronic disease. Your mental stress may change from feeling down to a deep depression. Either way, your very life will be at risk. Whether you'll be struck down by heart problems or attempt to commit suicide because of depression, you'll die.

There is one thing you have to remember when you fight with your stress: you can't do it alone. External help and support is necessary for anyone to cope with their problems. All so-called "strong people" that can go through anything unscarred know that lesson well and rely on others instead of taking more problems on themselves than they could handle. Do as they do: find some help, rely on others and use a hand when it is given. This way you may end your stress-induced problems in no time - permanently!
