RE: Care with post-traumatic stress
Hi @emimoron
When you express "stress becomes a real and serious problem for our health when we experience the acute type of stress", I intuit that this acute stress you are referring to is the one where people tend to lose control of our emotions and therefore we are not able to find balance points.
Best regards, be well.
Hello friend, stress in itself is not a disease, even biologically stress is a response of our body that allows us to generate an alarm to a threat and at the same time adapt to a given situation. When stress becomes a problem that affects our health is when we experience the acute type of stress, this type is when we are in situations where the source of stress keeps us constantly in alarm, ie our body does not rest and comes to deteriorate. For example people who are in jobs that require of them a constant reaction to extreme circumstances and get used to the high levels of adrenaline in the blood to the point that their heart rate is always high therefore their heart rate and cardiac response causes their cardiovascular system to deteriorate by the constant effort. And if one of the symptoms of acute stress is manifested in people when they get out of control easily, react violently, have sleep and gastric disorders until reaching the phase of allusions.Even today there is talk of collective post-traumatic stress generated by the confinement of the pandemic, as well as in populations that have been vulnerable, such as health personnel. But we ordinary people can also suffer from post-traumatic stress, for example when we have gone through a situation such as the death of a loved one and we can not overcome the fact, for an accident that causes us a trauma in which our life changes and even a relationship that is traumatic that also leads us to acute stress. So take care of yourself and take everything calmly, what can be done will be done and what has to disappear from our life so be it. Let life flow my friend.
