How Stress Eats Up Your Mental Health

online study anxiety

Someone is eating you, and that “someone” means stress and it eats you throughout the day. It eats your good thoughts and personality as well. Stress is a mental illness. It puts a lot of mental pressure on people and their minds. Mental pressure exerts a lot of change in human behaviour, both physically and mentally.

In most cases, we see peoples stressed because they want something which they can’t afford. Or they are stressed about family issues, breakups, failures etc. They constantly think about it and that greatly affects the human mind.

Most people suffer from stress and anxiety because they are introverts. They do not share their problems with anyone. They love spending time alone. And they constantly think they are alone. No one is around for their help or to listen to their problems and their chats. And because of the stress, your charming personality fades day by day.

A little stress is good for us. It helps us face challenges and put our heart and soul into the work to succeed. Low levels of stress tend to develop healthier habits, like smoking less and drinking less alcohol.

The American Institute of Stress investigated this degenerative process and concluded that most health problems are caused by stress. It is an easily identifiable condition that only causes anxiety. But it is also highly psychosomatic, affecting everything from our digestive system to our skin.

Meditation is the best way to overcome stress or mental pressure. It helps calm our mind and getting positive thoughts in our mind helps overcome stress. There are a lot of exercises that help overcome stress; yoga is one of them. It helps to reduce mental and physical problems. Breathing exercises and body scans are also helpful.

“We have to learn to turn off the autopilot that’s steering us in an endless loop. We all know people who snack while talking on the phone or while watching the news. You ask them if the omelette they just ate had onion in it, and they can’t tell you,” said Roberto Alcibar. He abandoned his fast-paced life to become a certified instructor of mindfulness after an illness threw him into a period of acute stress.

Stress is a mental illness and a state of mind that can be changed just by exercising and meditating. Keep talking to your family and friends. Share your problems, fears and happiness with them. It helps overcome this and keeps you engaged in work. Do things, learn something new; it helps you build your personality and confidence.
