Chronic Stressors

Decent Essays
I believe that chronic stressors is what cause people the most stress. People are always worried about how people view them, or they have troubles at work that need to get fixed, or they don't have a job at all and don't know how to pay the bills. These are the biggest stressors because they begin to stack up on each other and eventually an individual feels overwhelmed. A lot of times people don't like to talk to other people about these problems because they feel that it is their problem and don't need to burden anyone else with their problems. Eventually the person just can't take anymore of it and has to "explode" in some way.

However, our response to stressors determines our ability to control and manage or develop illness out of the stress. “Stress is experienced when a person’s perceived environmental, social, and physical demands exceed their perceived ability to cope, particularly when these demands are seen as endangering the person’s well-being in some way” (Cardwell & Flanagan, 2012). Walter Cannon’s (1932) fight or flight response elaborates the correlation between arousal and stress as due to the survival mechanisms that evolve in homosepian.

    Pathohysiological stressors encompass a wide range of potential stressors including factors that physically and psychologically affect fish in both wild and controlled environment.

    In Australia stress is a part of daily life, but most people do not know how to deal with it healthily and efficiently enough for the stress to have a minimal effect.

    A current stressor in my life is moving in to my own apartment with three of my friends.

Also my community college was very small, so all of my classes were right by each other. There was also free parking for cars at the campus.…
