Is stress causing you worry, nervousness, anxiety, low mood, depression or other distress or difficulties?

Stress is that 'word' from the 1980s that was traditionally associated with 'yuppies'. Anyone remember that term? I am old enough that I do. It's a horrible word that, in the 1980s, was coined for busy businessmen working in the city who were stressed by their fast pace of life.

It's not really accurate though, is it?

We ALL experience stress form time-to-time and that's part of our lives. However, when stress becomes unmanageable, out-of-proportion of the events/thing we are worried about, too much to cope with, causes us to develop unhelpful coping mechanisms (eating, drinking, smoking, over-work etc. distraction etc.) or impacts on our mood, feelings, physical wellbeing or other areas of our life, then many stress is starting to become a problem.

Some stress is ok. It can motivate us to action or complete tasks, Too much stress, however, can be very unhealthy or unhelpful emotionally, psychologically, physically, socially and affect work and relationships too.

Focus on.... Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (or EDNOS)

Focus on.... EDNOS/OSFED Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (or EDNOS) is now increasingly known as OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder) accounts for the highest percentage of eating disorders. EDNOS/OSFED is just as serious and debilitating as any other form of eating disorder and needs to be taken more seriously. Unfortunately, however, in our experience, this is often not the case and many are not given appropriate treatment or support (whether from family, friends, professionals and others) and the condition can deteriorte and even change into another form of eating disorder. WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT EDNOS/OSFED? Then read on..... EDNOS/OSFED is the most commonly diagnosed eating disorder in clinical settings. It has often been described as ‘partial syndrome’; however, in our opinion, referring to an eating disorder as 'partial' presents several problems, namely that the client or patient is denied support. EDNOS/OSFED describes a form eating d...

BODY IMAGE AND BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER: What is it?

BODY IMAGE AND BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER As we said yesterday, this week in Mental Health Awareness Week 2019. This is a national awareness week and the theme this year is Body Image. See Monday's post to see what we are doing this week. We will also be posting everyday this week on Facebook, Twitter and the blog about Body Image and BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder). Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is a mental health condition related to Body Image where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance.
