Fight, flight, freeze and fawning are all common responses to stress.
How stress manifests itself
A severe reaction to stress may be accompanied by increased activity, psychomotor agitation, or retardation.
Patients often experience symptoms of a panic state: rapid breathing, increased sweating, redness of the skin, tachycardia, etc.
How do you feel during stress
Symptoms may also include muscle tension, fatigue, irritability, impatience, insomnia or sleep disorders, difficulty concentrating, low mood, or, conversely, overexcitement, anger, memory impairment, increased fatigue, etc.
What are the reactions to stress
Each person experiences stressful circumstances in life differently.
All behavioral reactions to stress can be divided into two poles: the flight reaction (usually unconscious) and the fight reaction (usually conscious).
What is the most dangerous stress
Chronic stress is the most dangerous type of stress.
It is impossible to get out without putting in extra effort.
The problem occurs when stress conditions continue longer than our bodies can handle.
One of the main causes of prolonged stress is a persistent negative psycho-emotional state.
