Stress And Anxiety Are No Laughing Matter

Stress And Anxiety

It's another word for anxiety, and it's an interesting one too. Stress is not the same as anxiety though. In fact, when we use the word anxiety to describe what happens when we become stressed, we are actually using the definition of the word stress that applies to most situations in our lives. For example, if someone cuts in front of you on the freeway, that's anxiety. When someone misses a subway back home and you are late for work, that's stress.

What makes stress another word for anxiety is that it is something we all experience. When something bad happens to us, we get stressed. We get upset. We even get hurt or fall down and break an arm. Stress is everywhere, but the only thing that differs from situation to situation is what it causes us to do differently.

Stress causes us to act in ways that we don't necessarily want to. This causes us to lash out at others, become argumentative, impatient, and so forth. The only stress we know how to handle is our own stress. If someone is talking trash to us, we don't argue with them. If someone throws a rock at us, we don't react. If there's a fire outside, we can simply put the flame out, without getting angry or aggressive.

But when there's no fires, no heat and no rock, what do we do? We act. Now this action can be rational and also irrational, depending upon our reaction and how we perceive things. There's another word for stress that applies here as well - frustration. When we experience frustration, we explode with anger and actions that aren't necessarily our best.

This explosion of emotions and actions is known as stress. Focusing on the other word for stress (anxiety) is important. Focusing on the actions that result from that stress can help us to reduce the impact of the stressors, if it happens to be more than we can handle. Focusing on another word for anxiety or frustration can help us to cope better with the symptoms and to help us understand the triggers that bring about the feelings of anxiety or frustration.

For example, one of the other words for stress is compulsive overeating. Many people have a very difficult time controlling their compulsive overeating habits. They feel guilty and horrible about it and have difficulty getting rid of the food. However, the actions that come up when they eat too much, like blubbering, throwing up, crying, etc, are not actually the actions of the compulsive overeater. They are reactions that came up before the episode of overindulgence.

You might think that this makes the other word for stress easier to deal with and understand - that it's not as bad. However, there are some people who suffer from anorexia, which is another word for stress. Anorexia affects anorexics on a very deep emotional level. When the person overeats they become sick, depressed, and just generally unhealthy. They eventually become unable to move forward and their bodies shut down completely.

These are just two examples of stressful situations and actions. When it comes to dealing with the stressors that cause us to experience the feelings of anxiety and frustration, it is not always easy. However, one important thing to keep in mind is that many of these stressful events were brought about by a combination of environmental, internal, as well as external factors. Therefore, it is very important to understand what brought about your particular stressor, as well as the various ways you may be able to deal with or change the stressor. This is the only way you will truly be able to cope and handle your own stressors.

How to Interpret a Stress Strain Curve

In materials and metallurgy, a stress-strain curve in a material provides the mathematical relationship between strain and stress. It's obtained by slowly applying load to an instrument, taking readings of the deformation and calculating the stress. This process is called load cell application. The key to interpreting a stress-strain diagram is to know what the curve means and what it depicts. A stress-strain curve can have many different shapes, but it always follows a decreasing slope or U-shape. The most widely used shapes are the L-shaped curve (also called the isotonic curve) and the curved line. It's very important that you learn and understand these two important shapes. The stress-strain curve shows the relationship between the applied force and the deformed point. This can be thought of as the yield curve or strain yield curve of the particular material being tested. The yield curve is a measure of the energy change due to porosity, where the energy change is graphed a...

What Allergies Look Like and Symptoms of Allergies

Symptoms of allergies generally include: Swelling of the eyes, face, ears. Dizziness. Sneezing. Runningny nose. Watery, red and itchy eyes. Allergic reactions to allergens are caused by an allergic reaction to the allergen. Common allergies include dust, pollen, cat, dog, food, latex and many other environmental irritants. Food allergy reactions may include eczema, hives, vomiting and swelling of the face, lips and tongue. Skin rash may also occur. These can range from mild to severe. The symptoms of allergies may be evident after several days or several weeks. In some cases, people who suffer with allergies may not have any known risk factors for allergies before they develop them. However, it is very important to have a complete medical history, including medical history of siblings. The immunological factors responsible for allergies and their development are also important to be considered along with other factors such as age, sex, family medical history and environmental condition...

Choosing Facial Eczema Cream and Ointments

Facial Eczema (PE) is an inflammatory disease that causes low production of skin, irritation and sometimes burning and even death. Facial Eczema is most commonly caused by a toxin (sporansmines) produced by the Sporales moulding on pasture in warm, damp conditions. The toxins are airborne and can become airborne in dust particles and settled in the lower respiratory tract when breathing air, and they become even more airborne when a person coughs or sneezes. The toxins can also be swallowed when a sufferer eats food with a crusty taste resembling mold or slimy cheese. The toxins then enter the bloodstream when the sufferer inhales them via the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose and travel to different parts of their body. This allergic reaction triggers the release of histamines (also known as lignins) which cause the skin to become inflamed and dry. Normally there are normally some immune cells that protect the face from irritants such as pollens, but under certain conditions the ...

How To Reduce Your Exposure To Allergic Reactions To Ragweed

Ragweed is probably one of the worst known environmental allergens which doctors to see, and it is estimated that up to 10 percent of Americans have it. "It's everywhere - on our clothes, the foods we eat, our cars, even our hands," says Mary E. Zuber, MD, a dermatologist in Scarsville, Utah. "We know that ragweed has the potential to cause problems for people who suffer from asthma or allergic rhinitis." What's more, the extent of the problem is probably under-recognized, since many patients do not realize they're prone to ragweed until it is too late. Unfortunately, the extent of the problem may also be under-treated, because doctors are less likely to look for skin rashes, itchy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, coughing, and chest congestion - all classic signs of ragweed allergy in humans. Even in areas where ragweed allergy is not common, the plant can still be a big problem, especially during ragweed season (also called autumn leaf fever) when it launc...

How to Treat Face Eczema

Face eczema, also known as atopic eczema, is an irritating, itchy skin condition, which can be highly contagious and although usually associated with fair-skinned individuals, it's actually affecting people of every race. Those who have this chronic skin disorder are much more prone to get face eczema on their foreheads, backs, shoulders, knees, and even other parts of their arms and legs. There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about face eczema treatment, so it's important to make sure that you know what you're up against before you start treatment. That way, you'll know whether or not it's worth your time and money to expose yourself to harmful prescription creams and other harmful products. One common myth about treatment for face eczema claims that excessive dryness caused by weather conditions is the root cause of the condition. While this is partially true, dryness alone isn't the only culprit. In fact, there are many different reasons that a person c...
