LarryYour post has put into words exactly what I have been thinking for years but didn't quite know how to express it ( :) )
Stress comes in many different forms
1. Dietary stress (too much pizza, beer and coca-cola)
2. Financial stress (damned mortgage and credit card debts)
3. Psychological stress part 1( worrying on Sunday night that I have to go to work in the morning)
4. Psychological stress part 2 (waking up and realising that it's a work day)
5. Physical stress part 1 (getting out of bed)
6. Physical stress part 2 (twisting my ankle running to the bus because I'm late for work)
7. Work stress part 1 (my boss not impressed by me coming in late)
9. Physical stress part 3 (discs in my lower back wearing out due to endless hours spent slumped in the couch watching the beautiful people on television living exotic and fulfilled lives)
8. Work stress part 2 ( the injustice of having to work for a living when all those beautiful people on the television are having fun in the sun).At least I know what's happening to me as a result of my (past) lifestyle.
On a more serious note I very strongly believe that stress is the root of (mostly)all evil when it comes to my current condition. I note that your post blames stress as the cause of many conditions including some types of depression and chronic fatigue and I can explain the role that stress has played in my depression and chronic fatigue.
I have greater difficulty seeing the causal relationship between stress and my social anxiety. Do you have any thoughts on this question? I am very interested to hear your views.
Thanks Larry
