With more responsibilities come more stress,,, its all relative.Having poise under pressure comes from experience and faith.Thinking ahead,preparing and delegating help reduce potential catstrophes.Some people perform much better when the heat is turned up a notch or two.

I was in the British Army for 26 years when I first heard of all this stress syndrome and we referred to it as "Civilians Disease". I am now a civilian and noticed how everyone uses the stress word for everything as if its the in-word. We are all under pressure for one thing or another at some time in our lives, so why do we succumb to it? I think it has become a safety net as a reason for not organising ourselves and not dealing with situations as they arise rather than "stress ourselves out" about something which hasnt happened or may never happen. Stress can also manifest itself in so many other illnesses. Perhaps we should relearn how to take things in our stride today and dont worry about tomorrow.

Stress is something we all do through out our entire lives. People handle stress differently and some stresses are worse than others to certain people. I know the stress I have at the moment seems unexplainable, but really the answer is to face the truth and either accept it or fix it. It is something many of us can’t get over when we are in denial or when we don’t even know what we are really stressing over.

There is no doubt that we have become a nation of sissies. That is probably because we have so much time on our hands and so little real stress.
Imagine being part of a nomadic tribe on the Great Plains in the 1800s. It is the dead of winter. Knee-deep snow as far as the eye can see. Hunger is always an issue. Now, there are no buffalo to be found and most of the dogs have been eaten. You have no idea where the company of bluecoats seen recently in the area has gone. That's stress.
Or let's say you are one of the early settlers in upstate New York, or Western Pennsylvania, Colorado etc. Torrential rains are pouring down and damp winds are coming in every crack in the log cabin. Nature calls. That means a trip out into the night where cougars, bears, bandits and pissed-off natives live. Oh yeah, there might be snakes in the privy. That's stress.
If you take the view, "Life is hard and then you die," that's exactly what you get. Life is a gift but you have to unwrap it. No matter how hard your life may be, there is always someone who has it worse. Except the last guy. Sucks to be him.

Its unfortunate, but I think the pharmaceutical companies are in charge of creating the terms of what should be considered a "syndrome", etc.
The medical profession depends on the pharmaceutical companies to dole out the lastest product for you as the consumer to try.....While I am on the subject....I wonder if we should stop calling them DOCTORS (M.D.)and start calling them PRACTICING PHYSICIANS (P.P.) ....after all that what they are doing to us....practicing and hoping they get it right for us as their patient.
Western medicine should take a more natural look at Eastern medicine which are just that....NATURAL...like meditation for instance. If we "practice" that form of medicine it would go a long way in keeping clam through a "stressful" situation....Natural is always better than taking a "pill" which is a band-aid which over time can create a bigger problem. BUT they can't face loosing money by making people healthy.
And...all pills have side effects...it just depends on how they effect or not effect you...
Great advice. I will give it a try for a week.
