What is stress?

It is normal to have stress or tension. It is felt when dealing with a situation becomes difficult. When tension occurs, adrenaline starts running throughout our body. The heartbeat increases and mental and physical consciousness increases greatly. We come back, there is a sensation and stand hair all over the body several times.

How dangerous is stress?

Today the amount and frequency of stress in our life is also much more. But the most difficult thing is that the emission of stress-releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol becomes more dangerous when we do not need them.

If we are stressed for a long time it can damage our immune system and heart. Also our physical and mental ability to cope with external diseases get affected.

We all know that when we feel connected to someone it is always good to talk to them. For some of us, social media is the best medium. But research tells us that social media has emerged as the biggest problem of life for many of us.

The saying is quite old that Pain is reduced by sharing. But believe it is true. This is not to tell people, nor is it to prove that you are in need and through which phase. Rather it is for them to understand what they would have done if they were in trouble.

Believe it many times when we are in tension, even simple remedies do not come in our mind. But others hear the same thing and suggest such remedies which make our every difficulty easy. Therefore, it is very important to communicate freely. Anyway, it is not a big deal to talk to someone. Talking to someone is as simple as washing clothes, washing cars or playing games on the computer. So keep talking honestly and tell friends everything that is bothering you.
