The source of this uneasiness!

The source of this uneasiness is not always known or
recognized, which can add to the distress you feel.
Stress is the way our bodies and minds react to
something which upsets our normal balance in life; an
example of stress is the response we feel when we are
frightened or threatened. During stressful events our
adrenal glands release adrenaline, a hormone which
activates our body's defense mechanisms causing our hearts
to pound, blood pressure to rise, muscles to tense, and the
pupils of our eyes to dilate.
A principal indication of increased stress is an
escalation in your pulse rate; however, a normal pulse rate
doesn't necessarily mean you aren't stressed. Constant
aches and pains, palpitations, anxiety, chronic fatigue,
crying, over or under- eating, frequent infections, and a
decrease in your sexual desire are signs you may notice
which indicate you may be under stress.
Of course, every time we are under stress, we do not
react to such an extreme and we are not always under such
great duress or fear every time we are confronted with a
stressful situation.
Some people are more susceptible than others to
stress; for some, even ordinary daily decisions seem
insurmountable. Deciding what to have for dinner or what to
buy at the store, is a seemingly, monumental dilemma for
them. On the other hand, there are those people, who
seem to thrive under stress by becoming highly productive
being driven by the force of pressure.
Research shows women with children have higher
levels of stress related hormones in their blood than women
without children. Does this mean women without children
don't experience stress? Absolutely not!
