What is going on everyone? Do you have stress you probably do 90% of us have
stress and about 60% of us have unhealthy levels of stress the good news
is these days they have therapy pills weed yoga massage exercise and
meditation to help us deal with stress in my grandfather's day you had to suck
it up and have a drink that was your therapy a little stress is good and a
lot of stress is bad some people actually believe that zero stress is the
worst it makes you lazy makes you accomplish nothing and then later on you
have even more stress because you're 40 and you're living in your parents
basement kinda like Winnie the Pooh that honey
eatin weirdo has zero stress and hung around with a little ball of stress
called piglet never understood that anyway I guess opposites attract
there has been study after study on stress what causes it how to deal with
it and even what locations have the most stressed-out people and that's what
today's list is all about states with the most stressed-out residents so if
you're looking for a new state to live in and stress is a major factor in your
life you should watch my top 10 most stressed-out states number 10 Arizona
among Arizona residents the major stress they seem to have is family related
stress but they stress the least about their work it seems that Arizona does
have some major issues with families since the position for family and
marriage therapist is supposed to grow by 23 percent over the next several
years they also have seen an increase in divorce lawyers moving into the area
you know I'd be stressed too if I lived in the Grand Canyon state extreme heat
makes me stressed I'm sure somewhere in stress research they've looked at heat
factors heat makes people angry which leads to more stress fact number 9
Oklahoma Oklahoma's among the top states with the most uninsured residents about
14% of adults and 8% of children have no health coverage they're also one of the
top States for work-related injuries per capita obviously this may be why they're
top stressor is about health and safety when you have health concerns it's bad
then you add not being able to pay for the treatment on top of that it's just
getting really bad you'll probably be adding sleep issues to your laundry list
of how the universe screwed you real soon
next thing you know you're standing in open prairie with a quart of Jack
Daniels clutched in your white-knuckled fist screaming at the rain because now
you have hemorrhoids to go along with your kid
nice tones and you have no way of paying for it number eight Alaska Alaska has
the worst unemployment rate in the country at 6.2 percent the national
average currently is 3.7 and that's the current rate please look at the upload
date before you comment two years after the fact and tell me that the numbers
are wrong no the numbers have changed since the upload that's how it works
being unemployed is very stressful and I tell you that in case you're 15 or 16
and you don't really know how all that stuff works it is because if you don't
have a job you could lose your car your house not eat things like that not all
of us have a parents home to go back to Alaska is also the worst state when it
comes to work-related stress they have some extremely dangerous jobs in Alaska
so it's no wonder they have work-related stress and then there's also the stress
of worry about being trampled by a moose while you're working or fallen overboard
and freezing to death before anyone can pull you out of the water yeah that
moose stuff is real people worry about getting attacked by a bear in Alaska and
that's stressful enough but if you talk to the locals they'll tell you it's the
frickin Moose you got to worry about they outnumber bear three-to-one
the number of moose attacks spike in September and October during the mating
season and in their early spring when the mothers are protecting their young
calves however most often don't confront people
unless they're provoked for that reason it's really important not to throw
things at him or make bad Bullwinkle jokes things like that don't provoke the
moose and keep your dogs away from they hate dogs dogs run up and bark at them I
hate dogs when they run up but bark at me then you have to worry about hitting
one those things run onto the road every single day and get hit and I promise you
that airbag it hurts when it smacks you in the face and yeah moose all over the
front of your car number seven Nevada Nevada is the state with the most
divorces nearly 14 percent of all marriages in nevada and in divorce this
is higher than the US average of nine percent oddly enough Nevada is the
number one state to stress the most about family related issues
theoretically the stress should be over once you get a divorce nah that's when
the real stress starts for a lot of people you got to pay the lawyer child
support alimony bail money because one of you is guaranteed to call the cops on
the other at least once during the whole procedure and then on top of it you got
to pay for your trip to go to the casinos and she thinks she's in a
romance novel decides to take off to the Greek Isles to find her
self and that never works out then she comes back home to Orange County and
starts thrown in a little accent whenever she talks about her week in
Greece she tells her friends things like I
discovered who I was in that Greek island her friends want a grabber and
scream I discovered who you were in high school your Karen a BC student in high
school who rarely came home from high school parties with her undergarments
you spent six years of the Community College and you claimed to have a gluten
allergy but you eat gluten all the time and you drink far too much wine by noon
every single day
number six Alabama Alabama has been known for its restrictions on women's
health care since before we were a country just this year they passed a
bunch of new restrictions way to go Alabama this is a very likely reason the
women of the state are stressed about health and safety Alabama comes in first
place for residents having stroke stress is one of the leading causes of stroke
when you're under constant stress you have high levels of cortisol and other
stress hormones this causes a retention of salt which leads to high blood
pressure you know all the things you need for a good old fashioned stroke
basically people in Alabama are stressed and they don't need to be number five
West Virginia this is a state that's been through hell over the last decade
or so it's been reported that typically West Virginians tend to stress about
money health and safety issues the most this isn't too much of a surprise if you
know what's been going on in the state the coal mining industry has been dying
for years which was a major employer throughout West Virginia this has led to
a lot of unemployed people in the mountain State as we discussed before
unemployment is stressful and if that wasn't already stressful enough West
Virginia became ground zero for the opioid crisis it was bad and led to even
more stress on this state then you have the Charleston West Virginia Airport
Yeager Airport is one of the scariest landings you could make in the u.s. I
landed there and felt like I needed to do some heavy drinking just to calm down
so I can get my rent-a-car it was that bad one shining light in the darkness
that has been West Virginia in the last decade or so is WTS cute the greatest
radio station on planet earth and home to my friend Josh Gavin and my future
ex-girlfriend Maya Ross I'll leave a link for the radio station below number
four Kentucky Kentucky is the fourth most stressed out state in the country
they ranked 13th for work-related stress and that's the good news
Kentucky is another state that has a lot of workplace injuries and it's still
only 13th Kentucky residents stress out more about their families their health
and their safety and I can tell their stress by the comments I got in the last
Kentucky video I did these people have a problem with numbers they don't like
them because they normally are associated with stats and the stats for
this state suck I'm sure another stress they have is how far away they are from
the nearest payday loan place number three
Arkansas Arkansas is another stressed-out state there's about three
million residents who fear for their health and safety every day between
money family safety and work-related stress safety is what stressed these
residents out the most some of the cities in this state are horrible I did
a whole video on Pine Bluff Arkansas this is a small city of 50,000 residents
that's considered to be one of the most dangerous places to visit or live in the
country the place got to be swimming in stress the good news is at least up in
the northwest section of the state they've got some jobs and people are
lived a little bit better but the majority of this state is just stress to
the gills because of poverty crime and everything else
number two Mississippi Mississippi is the second most stressed-out state in
the country however mosquitoes had a category as a valid stressor then it
would probably be bumped up to the most stressed state Mississippi is the
poorest state in the u.s. which is why the biggest stressor is money related
money always seems to be a big stress factor in anyone's life Magnolia State
has had a serious poverty issue since the Great Depression in a lot of ways
they're still living like they're in the great depression about 21 percent of the
state lives in poverty about 75% of those residents they live in what is
considered extreme poverty if you watch this channel or Nick Johnson's channel
on the regular you already know that Mississippi is thick with poverty we've
done at least a couple videos each on the Magnolia States money problems they
have crime which is always another big stressor but other than in Jackson the
state capital it's not terrible in the rest of the state if it was I'm sure
they'd be number one and number one Louisiana Louisiana has about 4.7
million residents who are incredibly stressed out the leading stressors are
work-related stress and safety related stress and it's pretty clear why when
you look at the unemployment rate and the crime rate some of the cities
Baton Rouge Shreveport and parts of New Orleans need to be torn down and started
over or something I don't know about 4.3 percent of the population is unemployed
making Louisiana the ninth most unemployed state there is no yoga pose
that will fix this kind of stress not even a double downward dog with a zoloft
chaser it's not gonna happen people need employment and people need
to feel safe or they're always going to be stressed and that leads to bigger
problems then you have things like the weather the weather in New Orleans and
the rest Louisiana is horrible and there's always the fear of hurricane
they've had some pretty serious hurricanes in the past actually one of
the most devastating we've ever seen and they have to worry about that type of
stuff all the time and that's why Louisiana is the most stressed-out state
in the Union but it is the best state for gumbo so they got that going form
