hey sight deboers do you know what
triggers your stress knowing common
stressors can be a big part of combating
the tension you feel most people have
trouble identifying their triggers and
may wind up feeling the effects of
stress without knowing what caused it so
here are eight things that may be
triggering your stress 1 you have
trouble with finances are you worried
about making enough money to be
financially stable well they're not
alone because according to the American
Institute of stress money is the second
most common source of stress in the
United States making enough money
requires hard work budgeting knowledge
and fiscal responsibility as much of the
world revolves around money the ways of
making and managing income can become
very stressful and take a toll on your
well-being - you have toxic friends dear
friends complicate everything and leave
you stressed out a lot while good
friends are supposed to help and support
you through life's challenges toxic
friends may drain your energy and hurt
you they may be hypocritical selfish and
cause a great deal of drama in any
prolonged stress they may cause you can
lead to negative effects on your
emotional and mental well-being 3 you're
affected by someone else's stress do you
notice that you feel worse when the
people around you are stressed out maybe
your friends are panicking over a test
for a class you don't take but for some
reason you feel panicked to stress is
contagious and this is especially true
when you're an empath who's in tune with
what others feel so it's important to be
aware of the kind of energy you surround
yourself with or you're going through a
big life change are you stressed out
when things change events or lifestyle
changes like moving to a new state
practicing social distancing or losing a
loved one can send even the Comus person
spiraling according to dr. Surran a play
big life changes can lead to cognitive
dissonance which is when your beliefs
and behaviors don't match up large
disruptions in your life bring about
uncertainty and therefore more stress 5
you have a traumatic upbringing
your upbringing can make more of a
difference to your current self then you
think it does it can influence your
identity and attitude to how you deal
with stress for example a rough
childhood may lead you to develop C PTSD
complex post-traumatic stress disorder
the symptoms of C PTSD are trouble
regulating emotions and impulses a
skewed sense of self and alterations and
life meaningfulness six you have an
alcohol addiction
do you often turn to drinking when
dealing with stress while alcohol may
temporarily help you cope with stress it
can contribute to feelings of depression
and anxiety in the long run which can
make stress more difficult to deal with
as an addiction treatment center put it
the aftermath of drinking alcohol
includes a drop in blood sugar levels
and aggravating symptoms of anxiety for
some so if you find yourself
particularly stressed out after a night
of drinking you may want to make a
mental note to consider that before
going out and doing the same thing again
7 you have negative beliefs towards life
while there are external triggers for
stress there are also internal ones
being pessimistic and lacking the
ability to let things go can trigger a
stress response it may be because
talking negatively to yourself make you
view things as more negative or that
holding on to anger and resentment can
make you more susceptible to the stress
that comes from those emotions keeping
your body in a constant state of alarm
will result in stress and exhaustion 8
you have cumulative stress you find
yourself reaching a breaking point at a
seemingly random time this may be
because of what's called cumulative
stress there isn't one big reason for
your stress but several small ones that
add up you may be able to handle each
small event individually but feel
overwhelmed when they start to pile up
having time to process and recover in
between particularly trying
circumstances is crucial and without it
you might be more at risk of the
negative side effects stress brings do
