Stress

Stress is a feeling which holds a lot of pressure and strain. It is both helpful and harmful to one.

Helpful in a way that it motivates a person to do his/her work on time for example the stress was the biggest factor in helping us to do our assignment on time and also not forgetting the consequences of losing marks .Negative stress includes depression, anxiety and an urge of doing work on time  but sometimes too much urge or motivation is dangerous especially due to some external factor people failed to do  achieve their goals although they were going according to their plan. For example due to electricity load shedding Ali couldn’t save his work on the PC whilst it was complete. It becomes a chain of events like people tend to get away from their friends like becoming alone which itself. Excessive amount of stress also leads to diseases in our body which includes clinical depression, cardiovascular disease and human immunodeficiency virus or in other words (HIV)The clinical depression people tend to get sloe I meant they don’t function actively as they used to do, it changes their eating habit, studies get disturbed,eating habits and interaction with people changes with the effect of it. If it increases it can lead people to suicide. It can be helped by getting proper treatment and giving that patient

 a proper clean environment free of tension so that they can enjoy .The cardiovascular disease is related to heart and is itself divided into many segments or you can probably call its sub parts.

The first on is congenital heart disease it includes malformation of the structures of the hearts  which may be inherited or due to some other environmental factors. It includes heart abnormal valves and chambers. The factor includes mother taking drugs, alcohol and mothers with infectious disease known “rubella” also known as German measles. Not to forgetting the mothers with diet deficiencies and poor intake of vital nutrients. The other one is known as coronary heart disease which is caused by narrowing vessel of blood vessels. which is caused by tobacco, inherited ‘problems’ poor intake etc.The HIV is  weakening of immune system and allows life threatening generation of infectious diseases.

External factors also contribute a lot especially as now a days with growing societies and  a little development it has effected a lot of people socially like traffic jams can project a stressful image in a person forcing him to get trapped in a stress maybe due to this traffic jam he/she may get late to work ,few months back due to gas load shedding in Pakistan has caused women especially to wake up early in the morning to make food for the family similarly for this same load shedding even now a day’s car owners are stressed to get into long queues of filling gas to their cars and have to wait up till hours to  to get  their  this also raises opportunity cost assessment which is sacrificing an another thing for the work you are doing  right now like I had the choice of eating either a”paratha” or “nan” with the egg but I chose nan .Those car owners would be in stress as before this load shedding the work they could have done b y the time they serve in standing in the queue now they have to do on urgent basis which would cutting their time for leisure as they would have served otherwise.

The following are the terms used to define as how individuals cope with the stress.

*Affiliation=It involves trying to get involved in a society or a group for support in order to get  a                                  little  distracted from the stress.

*Positive reappraisal=Diverting a person  mind towards good things like playing mind games like  “luddo” ,”tash” etc.

*Passive aggression= Individuals dealing with stress in a hostile manner.

There is often some psychological situations which are related to flight or fight situation in which there is an extreme adrenaline rush, pupil dilation increase heart beat, and constriction of veins etc. For example getting chased by a crazy dog or get into a random fight over an issue etc.

There are different kinds of stressors which contribute in stress.

*Catastrophes=It is unpredictable like earthquake and tsunami etc in which an individual loses his personal possessions or may lose his dear one also seeing an environment fill with unbearable view can also contribute to stress.

*Major life events=Events like child birth, marriage, college graduation can lead to both positive and negative stress. For example birth of a child contributes happily but for example the father who is a the only earner of the house now has to work hard and start to save more money for his child for his education ,for his food etc. College graduation positive stress is the person getting a degree finally after spending a lot of money and time. Negative stress  would be finding the right job or right institution which fits your need both in education and financially and also checking the other environmental factors like faculty, location etc.

*Daily hassles also known as minor stressors=They are day to day stressors which are common in every one like making assignment on time ,going to university, traffic jams  etc

Managing stressor is a major issue different people apply different criteria to handle stress like some people smoke ,do drinking to tackle stress for a time being ,that is why it is also an another factor of a lot of drinking bars being opened in west so that every day people  come to tackle their stress which is bad because in long term it tends to increase stress even by harming the body as mentioned above regarding the diseases created by it, but the most efficient way to deal with stress is to play sports like football, fustal, cricket etc .Exercises like yoga, jogging  also help a lot in dealing with stress .

Life is full events which will force a person willingly or unwillingly to develop into negative or positive stress, my point is to try to fulfill the life commitments by also giving time for stress relieving activities also noting the point that stress also effect others life just like a virus try not to ruin it.
