Symptoms Of Stress
''Why So Many?''
Based on recent research you will learn about the many symptoms of stress, how dangerous long-term stress may be, and how to turn distress into eustress - the good stress. But let's look at the dangers first. Heart disease, stroke, insomnia, cell-damage, emotional distress...
Why are there so many stress symptoms? Because the mind/brain and body are not really divided. Your mind/brain acts on all parts of your body. Through feedback, the mind/brain interacts with the body parts and the external environment, and it interacts with itself. Everything you think, say, and do originate in your mind/brain. The symptoms of stress can thus be traced to the tension and conflicting relationships within your own mind and body. Your mind is agitated, uneasy, and emotionally unstable. Every other symptom of stress is interconnected because of the unified mind-body. You are one unit, not mind and body. The problem of modern medicine is that it must draw information from a vast body of knowledge consisting of many branches of science. The symptoms of stress are difficult to pinpoint because one must review so many sources of information. Chronic pain, depression, mental disorders... These are often stigmatized because of a lack of knowledge on behalf of the health professional. It's easier to dismiss than to diagnose... Anyway, our collected knowledge is still just one massive body. So let's look at some of the branches of science and review their findings... How do you change the dangerous feedback cycle of distress? And what is distress? There's a scientific view for you, and then there's the more poetic quotes...
