3 types of stress

 

Acute stress(fight or flight)

• Emotional distress — some combination of anger or irritability, anxiety and depression, the three stress emotions.
• Muscular - tension headache, back, jaw pain and the muscular tensions that lead to pulled muscles and tendon and ligament problems.
• GI - gerd

 

Episodic acute stress

These ppl are always in a rush, but always late. 

Short-tempered, irritable, anxious and tense.

Often they see nothing wrong with how they conduct their lives. Blame it on other people and external events. 

Resistant to change.

Most common symptoms are: 

• persistent tension headaches, migraines, HTN, chest pain & heart disease

Chronic stress

This is the grinding stress that wears people away year after year. 

stress of poverty, dysfunctional families, of being trapped in an unhappy marriage or in a despised job or career, traumatic childhood experiences that become internalized and remain forever painful and present. 

This can affect personality. 

People get used to it. 

People are immediately aware of acute stress because it is new; they ignore chronic stress because it is old, familiar, and sometimes, almost comfortable.

• suicide, violence, heart attack, stroke and, perhaps, even cancer.
