STRESS & BURNOUT

When we say to ourselves or to others, "I feel nervous," we often talk about feeling tired, stressed, feeling tense, and "hurt", and maybe even worrying about negative outcomes, for example, if it doesn't meet the deadline.

Stress treatment

Stress is a daily event for most of us. Stress is any change or demand that you must adapt to, ranging from having to work on time or getting less sleep than we need, to experiencing a relationship breakdown, or any other major crisis in our lives.

With the help of a psychiatrist, you can learn techniques and change behaviors to manage stress more effectively using a variety of methods:

• Body awareness and relaxation and wake-up strategies address physiological symptoms.
• Cognitive therapy tools address unhelpful thinking that often arises from and maintains unhelpful reactions to stress.
• Problem-solving and resolving, goal setting, and time management directly address environmental sources of stress.
• Lifestyle changes help recover and prevent relapse.

Working to change your basic beliefs can help you understand the reasons why you react to stress in a way that you defeat yourself and change these lifestyles.

When is stress a problem?

If we go through a stressful, short-term event, the brain causes a series of changes in the body known as the "escape from combat" response. These include changes that may seem familiar to you - increased heart rate, respiratory rate, muscle tension, and possibly even a stomach "butterflies". These are the normal bodily changes that occur to help us cope with a difficult situation.

When stress persists, or we experience a stressful event after another with little time to recover, we may start experiencing symptoms such as mood, sleep disturbance, stomach upset, anxiety, anger, irritability, difficulty concentrating, tiredness, and feeling of constant confusion, "burning", or Low confidence. This is when it begins to affect our lives.

What can I do to deal with stress?

Learning to manage stress is most important for your physical and mental health. Fortunately, there are a number of simple useful techniques that you can start applying right away. For example, identifying and changing behaviors that contribute to stress, as well as reducing stress when it occurs. Here are some examples:

• Determine Your Stress Warning Signs - We are all different, and everyone has a major or two stress sign, this could be a rival mind, shoulder stretching, or some other warning sign. Be good at checking yourself out when you are tired and know the warning signs of your body.
• Identify stress sources and remove them wherever possible, or reduce their frequency or impact, for example. Get more sleep, eat better, and take less work.
• Learn to anticipate natural triggers of stress, start to notice them in your life, make a list, and the next time you are about to occur, you can expect them and equip yourself with some relaxation or calming "self-talk."
• Set a routine for your day - plan your day early, get a specific bed and waking time, and eat well and regularly.
• Talk about it with friends and family, and share your feelings and thoughts.
• Spend time with positive people.
• Watch what you say to yourself - rather than expecting the worst-case scenario - "What could happen? Is this the thing or most likely?", Rather than telling yourself that you cannot cope, tell yourself - "I am adapting here, and you've dealt with difficult things From before ".
