Is anyone the same?

[Anonymous]

I can only cope mentally when I have a lot of stress. I am on holiday after grafting and doing really well this year and I can’t cope with no stress.

I am the same as you

I love having no stress

You are not likely going to live a long life and therefore I recommend you enjoy the few years that are left to you to live to a maximum.

Here is what the internet says about stress:

Stress side effects are wide-ranging, impacting your mind, body, and behavior, causing issues like headaches, fatigue, muscle pain, digestive problems (constipation/diarrhea), anxiety, irritability, sleep issues (insomnia), weakened immunity, high blood pressure, and difficulty concentrating, with chronic stress potentially leading to long-term conditions like heart disease or depression.

Physical Effects:
Muscles: Tension, aches, jaw clenching, headaches, migraines.
Digestive: Upset stomach, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, nausea.
Cardiovascular: Raised heart rate, high blood pressure, chest pain.
Immune System: Increased infections, slower healing.
Skin/Hair: Rashes, hives, cold sores, hair loss.
Other: Fatigue, dizziness, dry mouth, changes in menstrual cycles, low libido, sweating.

Mental & Emotional Effects:
Anxiety, irritability, anger, restlessness.
Depression, hopelessness, lack of motivation.
Difficulty focusing, memory problems, negative thinking.

Behavioral Effects:
Insomnia or oversleeping.
Changes in appetite (overeating/undereating).
Social withdrawal, emotional outbursts.
Increased use of alcohol or tobacco.

Long-Term Risks:
Chronic migraines, heart disease, hypertension, anxiety disorders, and clinical depression.

Recognizing these signs is key, as stress often presents as vague symptoms, and addressing it through lifestyle changes, relaxation, exercise, and sometimes professional help, is crucial for preventing chronic damage.

I don’t think “stress” is the word you meant to use. Maybe you meant something like “structure” or tasks?

Nope. I am controlling my emotions. Nobody else is pulling my strings.
