Symptoms of Stress!

[Badmemories]

OK I give up.. i was trying to find the post on where we were talking about the physical and other signs that we were having a flashback, EF etc. I can't find the original post so I started this New one! My ADD You know. It is probably right in My face! 


I found this website more or less on how to influence people. Not like in Dale Carnagie but more like mind control or prisoners, what cults do etc. (read between the lines.. What the NPD people in Our life did! )   great read but Distressing. Lots of Information though!

STRESS!


so here is the paste copy of the page!
Symptoms of Stress

Stress affects us all. If you can spot the symptoms, you can manage them.

Do note, of course, that these symptoms may also be indicators of other things. (If in doubt, consult you doctor...).

Note also that a stressed person is unlikely to experience all of these symptoms and that even one can be a sign of stress.

Emotional/cognitive symptoms
Emotional and cognitive symptoms of stress include:

Feeling irritable
Feeling frustrated at having to wait for something
Feeling restless
Unable to concentrate
Becoming easily confused
Having memory problems
Thinking about negative things all the time
Negative self-talk
Having marked mood swings
Eating too much
Eating when you are not hungry
Finding it difficult to concentrate
Not having enough energy to get things done
Feeling you can't cope
Finding it hard to make decisions
Having emotional outbursts
Generally feeling upset
Lack of sense of humor

Physical symptoms
Physical symptoms of stress include:

Muscle tension
Headaches, irritability, depression
Hair loss
Dry mouth, mouth ulcers
Pains in chest
Aggravation of conditions such as asthma
Pains in shoulders or neck
Low back pain
Stomach/abdominal pain
'Butterflies' in stomach
Indigestion and 'the gurgles'
Diarrhea, irritable bowel
Ulcers, gastristis, colitis
'Pounding' or 'racing' heart
Cardiovascular disease, hypertension
Muscle spasms or nervous tics
Unexplained rashes or skin irritations
Sweaty palms
Sweating when not physically active
Menstrual and vaginal disorders
Premature ejaculation, impotence
Unable to sleep or excessive sleep
Shortness of breath
Holding breath
Muscles work in opposing pairs, with movement caused when one contracts whilst the other relaxes. Stress can result in both muscles working at once. There is thus no movement, but still muscular tension.

Autonomic nervous system
We have an involuntary nervous system called the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which contains two types of nerves.

Parasympathetic nerves conserve energy and keep the systems in a relatively resting state.
Sympathetic nerves prepare the body for action through the Fight-or-Flight reaction.
Thus it is the sympathetic system that is affected by stress.

So what?
Watch out for your own stress, and help others reduce theirs.

If you are using stress to persuade, watch for these symptoms as indication of your success. Beware of over-stressing people and creating a Fight-or-flight reaction.

The site is to teach how to make people change their minds...this is really mind blowing!
