Case Study
“I am feeling so run down. At home, my parents are constantly fighting, and I often get caught in the middle of their arguments. At school, I carry my worries with me, and this makes it difficult to concentrate during class. Exam time is coming up soon, and I’m feeling the pressure of all the homework I must do, private lessons I need to go to and all the subjects I must study hard for. I stay up at night worrying about how things will turn out and at school I started keeping to myself during break because I’m afraid of what my friends might think of me if they see how stressed out, I’m feeling”.
We all experience stress at some point or another during our lives, as children, teenagers and even adults. I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase “I’m so stressed!” and may have also been the ones feeling that way.
Even though we all experience stress, the way we experience it differs from one person to another. What may cause stress to me might not be so stressful to someone else.
Stress can take on different forms. It does not only affect the way we feel but can also cause changes in our body. Emotionally we may feel confused, anxious, worried, and overwhelmed. Physically stress can cause headaches, difficulty sleeping, acne outbreaks and stomach aches. Stress can also influence our behaviour. For example, it may lead to overeating or drinking too much alcohol.
Wow, all those things can be related to stress!
5 Tips on Managing Stress
1. Exercise! A little bit of exercise added to your routine can go as far as reducing sleeping problems; increased heart rate and anxiety linked with stress.
2. Change your perspective! The way you look at a situation can determine how stressed out it leaves you feeling. Taking a step back and viewing a stressful situation as a challenge rather than a threat can help you in feeling more mentally and psychologically prepared to face it.
3. Breathe! Deep breathing techniques can help the body achieve a calmer state. Focusing on your breathing can help you feel more grounded and in control.
4. Listen to yourself! Become aware of what your body is trying to tell you. If too much stress is causing you to feel tired and run down, your body might be telling you it is time to slow down a bit and take care of your well being needs.
5. Reach out for support! Research suggests that social support helps people feel less stressed and improves health. Call up a friend, talk to a family member or come and chat to us here at Kellimni.
