how does stress effect you?

[Silverluna]

Do you shake, shiver, eat, not eat, shop? Any of the above? None of the Above?

Do you deal very well?

 

[concrete]

makes me HARDER

 

[Tranquility]

I don't sleep well and I lay there pondering it for hrs. Sooner or later I doze off and wake up with a answer. Hubby hates when I stress

 

[seXieleXie]

it doesn't. some times it affects me.

 

[MaxwellKing]

I find that normally I don't stress. I let it go, I play games, and be weird. But when I do get into a stressful situation, I just try and deal, if I can't I get aggressive. I don't shake uncontrolably, sometimes I can't sleep right away. But mostly, if stress becomes overbearing, I go driving in the woods, at night with my friend, we relax and make jokes at everyones expense, namely blowing things up and mass death and destruction.

I've been told, that I become an "asshole" when I hang with my friend. I see it as acting naturally without a damn care.

 

[Willing and Unsure]

stress affects me when there's a lot of things that can get to me at one time. generally what happens to me is that my tongue swells, I lose my appetite, I stutter, cant sleep, and then if it all keeps going I vomit.

 

[Purrde Flower]

I think I handle stress very well. I used to live with it for so long I can't really tell the difference between relaxed and stress. unless I just got laid.

I heart lexie.


As for stress... it makes my skin dry out and my face break out... and I don't sleep well during those times either, really.

 

[tswyk]

Extremes.


Too much sleep or not enough.
Contantly eating or forgetting to eat at all.
Wanting to talk or wanting to be alone.


It's strange, really.

 

[morninggirl5]

I get emotional.

I get headaches.

I dream about whatever is stressing me.


Wonder why i've been dreaming about plane crashes?

 

[sabbathstorm]

When I'm stressed I lose interest in a lot of things and sleep more than usual.

Hiya!

I dreamed about a plane crash this morning! And I was in the cockpit, so I had a great view of the earth getting closer and closer...it was hell.

 

[enjoyingitall]

I tend to substitute coffee, and lots of it, for food when stressed.
Then, that means I don't sleep well and then there are the headaches...It's a cycle, and not a pleasant one.

 

[MaxwellKing]

I hate those dreams.

I normally have ones where I'm being chased by either A) a shark or B) a bear

 

[someplace]

I work well under pressure -- deadlines and such, but I get so focused I tend to tune everything and everyone out around me. This usually annoys the people around me.

When I'm really upset and/or angry, I clean like a maniac. When I'm depressed, I don't eat and don't sleep.

But when I'm stressed out emtionally, my stomach is affected. I have to be very careful to eat properly at stressful times or I can get myself into really big trouble.

Hiya!

I dreamed about a plane crash this morning! And I was in the cockpit, so I had a great view of the earth getting closer and closer...it was hell.

My plane crash had me in the cockpit of a small plane. The pilot (he was a hunk) managed to land the plane, then it blew up and he in some weird attempt to correct a night vision problem watched the crash and went completely blind.

I don't remember the actual crash part, just the explosion and the what the hell am i gonna do leading a blind pilot around through the middle of nowhere feeling.


Nice to see you!

I hold it all in, until the point that it makes me physically sick. I have problems with not eating anyway, and when really stressed, I go a couple days before eating and then its very little. I smoke too much, have little interest in shopping and even when I manage to actually do it, I talk myself out of whatever I was wanting. Can't say that I shiver or shake, its more like not wanting to move a muscle. I sleep very little, and have tension headaches that will lay me low for days at a time, and alot of stomach distress.
No, I don't deal well, I never have.

 

[Pyper]

Facial tics.

[Ask For More]

I get exczema(sp?), mainly on my knuckles.
