Avoid stressful situations. Not always such a manifestation is negative. Stress can be experienced in a positive environment, positive emotions. Stress is nothing more than a defensive reaction of the body to changing the conditions in which man is accustomed to exist. The so-called "comfort zone", coming out of which we are uncomfortable. Psychoemotional stress occurs in conditions of negative emotional influences. These include:
- a threat;
- resentment;
- conflict situations;
- fear.
Arriving in this state, a person can not satisfy primary biological and social needs.
Emotional stress goes through several stages:
- stage of anxiety. At this stage, there is a sharp reaction to stimuli;
- stage of resistance. Man has adapted and adapted to the conditions of existence. He can live in a state of constant depression;
- stage of exhaustion. The level of adaptability is reduced, which subsequently leads to death.
Physiology
Emotional stress affects all the functional systems of the body. He has a greater influence on the vegetative system. The latter, in turn, is weakly opposed to negative influence, very easily disbalanced. The vegetative system is a part of the nervous system.
Now about what happens at the time of psychological stress:
- the cortex receives a signal from the external environment. The stimuli begin to act;
- a signal regarded as a threat is transmitted along the nervous pathways to the departments of the hypothalamus;
- in the body there is a powerful release of adrenaline.
Signs of emotional stress
You can diagnose the presence of stress in the following indicators:
- possible increase or decrease in body temperature;
- rapid pulse, palpitations;
- sweating;
- headache and dizziness;
- fatigue;
- irritability;
- anxiety, fear, feelings of despair;
- inability to restrain tears;
- uncontrolled behavior.
The peculiarity of the manifestation of emotional stress lies in the fact that emotions "go off scale" and are difficult to control. A person can show inadequate reaction to what is happening, "break" on others, thereby freeing himself from an overabundance of energy.
