Personal Narrative: What Precipitate My Stress

Improved Essays
What precipitates my stress is the lack of communication with my husband and the need I have to be heard. The lack of communication between my husband and I makes me feel alone and in a way I resent him for it. I also get angry, but a lot of this anger is geared toward me; although I would love to have someone I can talk to, I do not want to play the role of the victim or depend on the feedback from others to feel better. As a result, most of the times I end up bottling everything up, which exacerbates the problem and my imagination, take over and I immediately go to the worst possible scenario, and negative though.

    It is the morning of July 4th, 2008: I groan as my mother gently whispers, “teneshi yene mar (Get up honey)”.

    My experience of stress can be best described as a rollercoaster, steadily climbing and once at the top it can plunge down and back up and to the left and to the right, almost as if the stress is controlling the ride. Stress has changed over the years as well. My early childhood life didn’t include the worry of life, but the concern of self. I grew up as a very shy individual and was constantly scared to talk or speak in many situations. I am not sure how or why I was a shy individual, but it was a big stressor during my early development.…
