Prolonged stress has a huge impact on disease formation, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Psychologists have identified certain key stressors among the top 5 or so in severeity.
Death of a loved one
Divorce
Job loss
Moving
illness
trauma
Most of us get a double or tripe whammy at one point or another.
I experienced several years of stress some years back now.
A divorce, moving twice, the death of a family member and job changes. All within a 2 year period.
Just take the best care of yourself as possible, try not to dwell on your problems, reframe the word ‘problem’ to ‘situation.’
Eat well, rest well, exercise and get into some therapy if you feel overwhelmed, and remember…this too shall pass.
