CATASTROPHE
Let say you have engaged before this and you have been working so hard for it. You and your fiance' have been waiting for a many years to wait for the right time and both of you work so hard to save money for your wedding ceremony. Everyone know how future bride and bridegroom feel right. Everything is about to done. You have buy everything you need , settle up for the food, hall, in order to make that day the best day in your life and then suddenly
Oh My Fish
Your fiance' died in a car crash before the wedding day. All the preparation have been done and you have ready to put a ring on her. All the guest have recieved their invitation cards to your wedding while parents were busy to make it more perfect. You have lost your fiance' and all the plan ruined up
Now, with this kind of situation, predict will you react the same thing in this picture? How would you feel if you lost kind of everything, the most important day in your life, the day that you have been wait for a so long time. This kind of situation is called a Catastrophe, which is defined as an unpredictable, large-scale event that creates a tremendous need to adapt and adjust as well as overwhelming feelings of thread. Related to catastrophe, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a disorder resulting from exposure to a major stressor, with symptoms of anxiety, nightmares, poor sleep, reliving the event, and concentration problems, lasting for more than one month. This is one of the major causes of stress in our community.
HASSLES
Hassles means the daily annoyances of everyday life.
The picture above is the example of bully situation that usually happened at school. We know that bullying some might give us some pleasure but for the person who face it, it is kind of nightmare that make their life more dull. This is the perfect example of hassle that will lead you to stress. I have been bullied before so i know how its feel and true, I'M STRESSING OUT. Whats worse is that most of the time these immature humans are persistent and consistent with their attitude that it also made people like me experience persistent and consistent stress.
PRESSURE
Pressure is defined as the psychological experience produced by urgent demands or expectations for a person’s behavior that come from an outside source. Everyone have their own responsibilities to take care of. As a student, our main responsibility is to study and achieve our targets for brighter future. Study is not as easy as you pronounce it. We know while we are talking about study, the first thing that will pop out from our head are assignments, home works, class and more. Not all students achieve what they want and when we don't achieve what we want, at that time the pressure will come. We know that our parents are putting their hopes so high to see us be a successful person in future and we carry a big responsibility as a student.
As the result, all the source that related to stress will lead to undesirable and saddening things such as suicide which is an absolutely wasteful thing to do. Unfortunately, the ultimate cause of suicide is undeniably stress which leads to depression and then causes one to commit suicide. Most people believe that suicide is the definite solution to all problems, but the reality is that, it isn't! It only stops the chances of making things better.
HOW DO WE OVERCOME STRESS?
First and foremost, you have to find your own space and manage your time carefully. You have to go for exercises maybe in the morning or afternoon after class and spend your time outside your room.
By doing exercise, you might as well accumulate yourselves with positive energy when surrounded by nature. It is best to exercise with your friends and families or at least someone to accompany you so that you wouldn't feel lonely aside from safety reasons. You can choose at least one sport that can make you feel comfortable and you feel happy when you did it. As an example, my sport is rugby and I love to play this game. By the time I hit people or make a run to the try line, I feel happy and I dont even think about my problems that keep on burdening me.
Other than that, get yourself some good night sleep every day so that stress would not occur in the first place. Having a good night sleep is essential as it would help you to charge your body up for the coming days and you would feel refreshed to be more productive each day, thus reducing the risks of experiencing stress. Besides, you have to keep yourself in positive mode. You must enjoy your life especially your teenage life. What can you do? You can go mingles around with friends and family, going out for drinks, party on saturday night, any activity that can make you feel happy so that you can control your emotions.
To conclude, every problems have its own solution. Same goes to stress, you have abundance of choice to solve it either you want to solve it or not. This is roughly about stress and if want to know more, you can read in the Psychology book on page 454. Stay tune !!
