Most of us end up in life having troubles to deal with and problems to solve. Therefore it is crucial that we find possible solutions and responses to the problem itself. It is also the same for our health: if we encounter with a disease, our bodies will find ways to react to it, and stress is no exception. Here are some possiblities on how human beings respond to stress as a potential threat.
Knowing your limit and recognizing your stress-related conditions is very important if you want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you do not know your level of stress control, it might damage both your physical and psychological functions. Therefore noticing how much stress affects you is vital; otherwise you will get used to it and gradually stress will take control over your body. However, signs of stress are not easy to be pointed out because they can start from very small things then expands into more serious symptoms.
According to experts, there are three main types of response when people are overwhelmed by stress. Each has its own distinctive signs and explanation. The first type of response is the extroverted type, where your agitatedness or angriness is exposed to the outside. People with this type of stress response often find themselves impatient in most situations, and they get easily heated up even in cases which are not so much annoying. Their endurance of difficult conditions is low, and they have the tendency to be ill-tempered and easy to explode emotionally. Some other might even result in being hyperactive and unable to sit still or focus on anything. This type of reaction is rather in the safe zone, since it is extroverted and can easily be recognized and cured.
The second type of stress response is the withdrawn or introverted one. Once you experience this kind of reaction, you have the high tendency of shutting yourself down and out from the outside world and being unwilling to have interactions or communication with people. It is very likely that people with this stress response suffer from serious mental depression and other psychological problems. An intense and constant amount of stress might eventually lead to autism, or isolation from the society, more specifically patients will space out from the community and refuse to show emotions. In worse cases, patients might suffer from extreme depression and either end up being too pessimistic and lacking energy, or suffering from serious mental illnesses. This type of response seems to be the most dangerous one because the symptoms are not exposed, therefore diagnosis would be much more difficult.
Last but not least, the combined type of response consists of two sides of reactions. In most cases, patients with this response often feel tense and frozen while they have to encounter with pressures or limits. Experts call this response “combined” because the actual reactions inside and the outward signs are of no resemblance. A patient who has this kind of response may look paralyzed or calm on the outside, but actually their mental state can be extremely imbalanced and agitated.
Either your type of reacting to and coping with stress is one of these three, it is important that you know your level of control that you can exercise upon stress and find the best way to get rid of it permanently. The above example of responses may help you a lot with finding the solution to your specific condition.
