Often, when acting in a situation of excessive stress, such thoughts as &quot;I can&#039;t do it anymore&quot;, &quot;it&#039;s too much for me&quot;, &quot;nothing I do is useful&quot;. Do you feel that way sometimes?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress seems so commonplace these days that it and how to deal with it get undeservedly little attention. Action is taken only when the stress has led to a more serious illness, but the symptom should be treated, not the consequences.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reactions to stress are individual, but excessive stress and\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stress levels can lead to serious health problems. A large part of the occurrence of mental and physical health disorders is primarily associated with cumulative, acute or traumatic stress.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best-known and most important scientific works on the effects of stress is the ACE study, which tried to explain how negative events in childhood affect a person&#039;s life course and health. Emotional, physical or sexual abuse, as well as emotional or physical neglect, were mapped as negative events. Domestic conditions were investigated, such as a parent&#039;s mental health disorder, addiction, violence in the family or the parent&#039;s stay in a detention facility. It was found that the more negative childhood events there were, the more likely it was to develop various difficulties later in life. For example, if there were more than four, the risk of heart disease was more than doubled, and the risk of suicide attempt was more than twenty times higher. If a person had 1-3 negative childhood events, the likelihood of alcoholism increased approximately tenfold. Based on this study, long-term and acute stress affected the development of the nervous system, the immune system, the endocrine system, and the cardiovascular system.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effects of short-term excessive stress are usually felt in the form of various pains, such as headaches and stomachaches, but sleep disorders, rapid irritability, and difficulty concentrating are also common.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effects of long-term excessive stress are typically anxiety disorders, insomnia, high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, digestive problems. Long-term stress promotes the development of various diseases, including depression and anxiety disorders, obesity and heart disease. Common side effects of long-term excessive stress include overeating, unhealthy diet, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, accidents and injuries.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many symptoms and they can vary. For example:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 easily irritated<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 headaches<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 diseases that occur during holidays and weekends (susceptibility to colds is especially high)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 insomnia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 tiredness\/boredom<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 etc<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The human body and soul can also hide stress very well, and you yourself may not even know about the existence of stress. In fact, however, it is a strong stress phenomenon. In such cases, the symptoms can be relatively vague and difficult to detect. For example:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 you can work for a very long time without showing any signs of fatigue.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 have few emotions and feelings (especially in cases where you usually react with strong irritability)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 increased consumption of alcohol, nicotine, cigarettes and other narcotic substances<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 new and uncharacteristic ways of behaving<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 inability to rest<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 apathy<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suffer from stress for a long time, you get used to it and stress symptoms may not manifest in the usual way. Stress still hits at some point, and unfortunately much more seriously. Just one strong shake is enough if the cap is thrown off as a result of the fermentation process.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such stress symptoms can be very severe:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 stomach ulcers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 heart disorders<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 minor illnesses (allergies, skin itching, migraine, etc.)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 serious diseases (e.g. arthritis, cancer, diabetes)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 mental problems (depression, paranoia, etc.)<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The false principles created by the market economy society, that stress is an example of weakness and that it severely damages a person&#039;s chances of being successful, have actually done themselves a disservice. Stress sometimes seems like an overemphasized disease, and people tend to have a negative attitude towards problems rather than seriously dealing with the problem. Unfortunately, there is a problem and it is sad to see tired young people; hear the statistics that Estonia has the highest number of male suicides; know more and more friends and acquaintances taking antidepressants; seeing young people suffering from horrible diseases, broken relationships and unhappy children who have to grow up very young, etc.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical reactions:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">constant feeling of tiredness,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">frequent physical complaints,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sleep disorders,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">changes in appetite.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotions:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anxiety,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feeling of alienation,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">desire to be alone more<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">negativity\/cynicism,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depression \/ constant feeling of sadness,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feeling tense,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inability to feel joy.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tiredness of constant thinking,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">compulsions,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">difficulty concentrating,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lack of interest,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">difficulties in decision-making and setting priorities,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rigidity of thinking,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">black and white thinking.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behavior:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">irritability,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blaming others,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reluctance to initiate or complete activities,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">withdrawal,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unwillingness to take vacations,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&quot;treating&quot; yourself with health-damaging techniques,<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reckless\/risky behaviour.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Values:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doubting the basic values of life, beliefs;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hesitations in important areas of life (profession, workplace, relationships);<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sense of danger, feeling of being a victim;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the shattering of illusions.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Normal stress is generally related to a specific situation, event, or accident, but when stress continues for a long period of time, it can affect a person&#039;s health.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers have found that chronic stress increases the risk of heart disease, cancer and mental health problems.

The explanation for the mystery of such devoted affection can usually be found in childhood experiences. Most of us become adults and continue in the role we assumed in the family we came from. For many women, this role often meant sacrificing their own needs in order to fulfill the wishes of other family members. Maybe circumstances forced us to grow up too fast, because we had to take on the responsibilities of an adult too early, too immaturely, because mom or dad was too emotionally or physically ill to fulfill their parental role. Perhaps one parent had died or separated and we tried to fill the void by helping to care for our siblings as well as the single parent. We could live with both parents, but because one might be angry or frustrated or unhappy and the other wouldn&#039;t deal with it, we became the confidant who had to listen to the details of the relationship that we couldn&#039;t deal with emotionally. Although we were too immature for the task, we ended up protecting them. We learned too early and deeply how to take care of everyone but ourselves. Our own needs for love, attention, care and security were not met. Having learned to deny our own longing for care, we grew up looking for ways to do what we had become adept at: worrying about someone else&#039;s wants and demands rather than acknowledging our own fear, pain, and unmet needs. Fear of loneliness, fear of not being loved, fear of being worthless, fear of being ignored or abandoned or destroyed. So we help, keep helping and hope that our fear will go away and our reward will be love.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.pekonsult.ee\/koroona.php https:\/\/www.arengutee.com\/stressitest.html Tavaline stressiilming on see, kui inimesele tundub, et k\u00f5ik vajalik on tegemata, kuid aega pole enam \u00fcldse.
