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.
