When Stress becomes a Psychological Symptom:
Stress is common. We
all have to deal with stress and stressors daily, but when a person
is overwhelmed without relief for an extended time then psychological
symptoms are most likely included. When a person is stressed, they
often feel that they are going crazy. To help you understand the fine
lines between crazy, common and psychological we are going to review
several details, including symptoms. Common stress includes temporary
depression, anger, helplessness, tension, knotting of the stomach,
and so forth. Abnormal stress includes depression, phobia, anxiety,
helplessness, repeated suicidal tendencies and thoughts, tension,
ongoing anger, mood swings, and the list continues.
It depends on the diagnose
whether two or more of these symptoms exist, but it stills boils down
to stress and fear. When a person has psychological factors that increase
stress levels then it is harder for the person to cope with stress.
The person often lacks coping skills, has behavior distractions, and
lacks education. Some diagnoses are hereditary, while others are related
to medical, chemical imbalances and psychological.
Therefore, we need
to find a stress management scheme that works with each individual
separately but according to the person. Most stress management techniques
are useful to almost anyone, however some can cause harm to a person
if the diagnose is distinct. For example if you are dealing with a
person that has Disassociate Identities, formally known as Multiple
Personality Disorder-MPD then you might want to avoid some stress
management techniques that helps the person to cope with stress. Because
the person has different personalities, including thinking, behaviors,
activities, tone, appearance, writing, and lifestyle and so on, then
you may want to skip stress management techniques that include pictorial
strategy.
As you can see, we
are all different and some of us more so than others, therefore when
we are diverting stress management techniques we want to consider
all possibilities, including differences of people. It depends on
the person, but most common individuals deal with their stress by
planning, preparing, thinking, deciding and avoiding stressors by
minimizing their problems.
This may include altering
behaviors, changing careers, redirecting goals and so forth. On the
other hand, if a person has a psychological factor this person may
fail to see how stress management for the common can work for them,
or else is more prone to triggers that can lead to disaster by utilizing
the techniques. Let us take a moment to view a couple of different
individuals and how one stress management technique is used on both,
including how it affects the individual.
A man walks in a class
filled with people, sits down at a large oak table and appears uptight.
At the same time, a young woman walks in the door and she too sits
down at the table appearing uptight. Assuming that the man had a rough
day and is attending classes to learn how to manage stress and no
psychological ailment is existing he begins listening to the psychotherapist
and follows in according to the instructions. The entire class is
asked to find an area in the room where they feel relaxed. The entire
group locates an area in the building, sits in a comfortable position
and the instructor tells them to take a few deep breaths, clear the
thoughts, and wonder off into a peaceful environment where there are
no worries, stress, problems and so forth.
The man begins to feel
the tension leave his body, while the woman feels stress increasing
taking control of her mind. We have the same technique in progress
and two different people in the room, one with a psychological issue
and the other an ordinary man overwhelmed with stress.
The woman suddenly
jumps to her feet and flees the room, without looking over her shoulder
wondering what the other group members are thinking. She storms out
the door and runs as fast as she can. This brings to point that not
all stress management techniques are good for everyone, since we are
all different. The woman illustrated in the picture was diagnosed
with Disassociate Identities who is subject to creating more alters
when a person asks them to view other people in an imaginary environment.
The woman was frightened, since everyone in the room posed a threat
to her person. Learning who we are and what works best for us individually
can help us deal with stress. Worrying only cause’s stress
