My mind is pinioned by stress, though thus far no adverse symptoms have manifested as a result of my obsessive nature.....fortunately. Though to stray from the preceding, anecdotal expression of sentiments and disseminate from a tad more scientific source, here:

"Stress that continues without relief can lead to a condition called distress -- a negative stress reaction. Distress can lead to physical symptoms including headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping. Research suggests that stress also can bring on or worsen certain symptoms or diseases."

Stress takes it's toll on the human body, on both the emotional and physical level. It has the power to change our thinking habits and if left untreated, can cause major damage to us physically. There are ways to control and even eliminate this life robbing culprit. If we can pinpoint the exact causes, we can eliminate it. Forever.

Current research studies show that two-thirds to 90% of all health illnesses are stress related. According to the American Psychological Association, fifty four percent of American adults are concerned about the level of stress in their everyday lives.

What Is Stress?

Stress is both psychological and physiological responses that upset the balance in our lives. Stress can be physical, mental, or emotional tensions.

Anxiety, which is commonly found to accompany stress, is an uneasiness caused by danger or misfortune. These unhealthy disorders may be anything from feelings of uneasiness, to fears of extreme terror.

Over 40 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from stress and anxiety related disorders. Unfortunately, only about one third of all sufferers receive medical treatment, whether it be provided through a hospital, healthcare program, or from other stress eliminating programs.

Regardless of how or when these disorders may come about, whether it be experienced by an adolescent or by a senior, they all share the same basic characteristics and that is of fear and or worry. Fear is a natural part of the human make up. It is a safety mechanism instilled within us to warn of impending danger.

It's also natural to be aware and concerned with the issues of daily life. We fall victim to stress and anxiety when we find ourselves worrying excessively about events, whether they will come about or not.
