Do you get stressed easily?

I used to think that I thrived under pressure but the past few years have shown me how much stress can effect you. I stress easily and I normally feed off of it but not anymore. I try and stay chill now. I walk a lot to destress, I find TV is a good escape when watched in moderation, and cuddling with my wife. All good for the soul.

I get stressed very easily. The tiniest thing can change my mood. If I'm stressed I might pace/step and repeat things over again to reassure myself, but that isn't really dealing with it.

Fortunately I am not easily stressed, it takes a lot to push me to the edge.

I think to be really honest, I have had more than my share of it.
Maybe a hard life after years makes you, resilient .I feel I have become a lot more stronger in some things.
But, our minds can and sometimes will, make it seem that the world is going to end.Stress comes, and bingo we fall into the trap.

People who deal with it every day, have to keep a far different view on it.They do a check and balance, on the degree of the stress(and problem).

I sometimes work with an ex-cop inside the jail, and not much will faze him....because he knows the levels.
He has taught me a great deal, and I'm better now at some stress.

If I am totally stressed to the Max, and it is like full on, then I go to my bed lie down and pray.(or If at work I still pray).After a few minutes, I'm on the way back to being o.k.
That for me fixes everything big time.

Good one, jonaj. :)

No I don't get stressed easily. I have many coping mechanisms for this. I believe that there are good outcomes that can arise out of a hectic situation.

I didn't think I did, but of course if I was really serious and thought about it, I do get stressed when things go wrong.... I'm usually a good planner, but if outside influences muck it up, my equilibrium gets out of whack and I stress. I try and 'go with the flow' and have a "it happened for a reason" attitude these days.

Used to. But now, water off a duck's back.
Especially in a situation where I've no control over it.
