Stress ruins your life. Unfortunately, that statement is a fact for too many people in this fast paced world of ours. Not being able to sleep not being able to eat, a few days off work, these things are chalked up to being a nuisance of our lifestyles. The fallout from these irritations can cause terrible consequences if left unaddressed. Stress can cause numerous problems including an inability to function normally. Causing people to become so overwhelmed they lose their ability to function at all.

Stress causes people to lose weight to not pay attention to miss things they would normally never let go by them. It can cause them not to care. They won’t care about themselves or anyone else around them. Stress can cause a normally immaculate person to become the most untidy person. It can cause a person who is normally weight conscious to become an over eater. Our stress affects everyone we encounter, even when we distance ourselves.

People who succumb to stress don’t start out that way. They get overwhelmed by life occurrences and eventually lose their ability to cope. Our ability to deal with stress depends on the frequency of the stress and the development of coping skills. Coping skills are a deciding factor in whether a person will handle stress or if it will handle them.

We as a society try and solve everything with drugs. We have a headache we take a drug. A backache we take a drug. We sneeze we take a drug. We never seem to want to take the time to solve the underlying problem. It is allowed to get worse until it is or is so close to being unmanageable. But before we get to the quote unquote hard stuff we sugar coat the problem with food, shopping, sports anything to tell ourselves that we are ok.

Stress has always been and will continue to be as long as the world stands. It would seem training is in order for dealing with everyday upsets. We are taught Science and Mathematics. A class in managing stress would be beneficial to society as a whole, and hopefully stress will ruin fewer lives.
