Our hard-wired stress response is designed to gives us the quick burst of heightened alertness and energy needed to perform our best. But stress isn’t all good. When activated too long or too often, stress can damage virtually every part of our body. Sharon Horesh Bergquist gives us a look at what goes on inside our body when we are chronically stressed.

Well now I'm stressed about my stress
me too :(

+TheCuriousUnicorn I don't know why this kinda thing happens. I think there's someone who's been using my account without my knowledge.I'm really puzzled.Who could it be?

Stress is not something you always have control over. That's why it's stressful.
Fact!
Totally
@@vijayalaxamishelke381 Reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath and mind [brain] are closely related causing stress-anxiety. For a better life sit on a chair, back straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. Change happens by itself from within if done regularly. Day or night, when taking a walk, sitting in a park, when reading, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor

Only if you have an external locus of control
Also worth mentioning that long term stress can affect your menstrual cycle, happened to me when I was involved in way too many projects at once last year
In what way? My periods have been extremely heavy ever since I’ve been in constant pain.
@@amazingsupergirl7125 the pain especially isn't a good sign, do go get checked out. Endometriosis or ovarian cysts are far too common
Can!!! & disease in the whole womb, kids wanted or not.
Yes! I thought I was starting menopause early, but it was stress!
That's why I havent had my period for over over 2-3 months??
I've been stressing everyday and my period always comes months late
nobody gonna mention that the animation is super adorable and funny? okay

Stress is challenging, fight it, but if you are defeated, there could be consequences, sense it before it ruins your life, effects your health, search for comfort, put up a resistance, cope with it or get out of the situation ,dysfunctional individuals aren't appreciated by society♿

4 minutes talking about how stress literally destroys my life and kills me, followed by 20 seconds telling me "don't stress" wasn't exactly helpful.
true
So true I feel this
The title of the video says how stress affects your body, not how to deal with stress...
Having a problème of anxiety and heard how bad the stress is for your body only make you more stressed. It's like an evil circle.
+ariane. what i was thinking lol actually gave me anxiety watching this

Easy tips to feel at least, a little less stressed:
1) Sing a song while you shower.
2) Talk face to face with people. About anything at all. Even listening to others helps.
3) Don’t walk in your house. Skip and jump to your destinations like a protagonist! (If your circumstances allow) it’s all about awakening your inner child.
4) Add the happy songs from your playlist to your daily chores.
5) Stop! Breathe, take a paper and write all of your honest feelings and problems (and possible solutions) and shred it to pieces afterwards.
6) Hug a loved one if circumstances allow.
Good advice!! 💯
regarding point number 5, why shred it afterwards though?

A year ago, I stressed myself into permanent IBS and multiple other health issues. Stay safe and put yourself first, trust me! Nothing is more important than your health
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years.
With so much anxiety Not until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean.
Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episodeenough to start working on my mental health
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need

The shroom experience stands as my most remarkable journey, an awe-inspiring encounter that left an indelible mark of amazement.

I do HIIT, yoga, meditation, and spend a lot of time alone. While those help my stress/anxiety, I wish they helped MORE. I'm still high-anxiety and stressed.

You could try chopping firewood. Might help if you can break something.
I would recommend trying yin yoga. It focuses a lot on the mind and may help in a different way
@@ElizeNou I do yin yoga sometimes. It's ok; I like holding and tweaking my poses longer than, for example, power yoga.
this is ironic because I've been sick for a month and I'm starting to think its because of stress. I'm stressed out knowing that stress is making me sick lol.
Read about moducare for stress
*+Raven Wilson* Check out _The Mind_ by Tragedy & Hope, a short little video collage to Alan Watts. Captures worry nicely :)
+Raven Wilson Try seeing the problems causing the stress differently.
For example ; If someone you care about is not taking care of their own business and, it falls on you to help out with whatever is missing, or not right, Sit down somewhere quiet, and ask yourself ; "What am I responsible for in my life" ? (Imagine all the things being put into a 'storage' of some kind.) Then as yourself ; "Is (whoever is making the problem) taking care of THEIR SAME , OWN RESPONSIBILITIES as I am ? In other words, "What is 'your stuff ?" and "What is their stuff ?" Then ask yourself ; "If I take care of this person's problem, am I enabling or, feeding into the problem ?" Then ask ; "Will my letting them deal with it make them more responsible and, better at dealing with this in the future ?" If so, REALIZE that , it is not your problem to solve ! (If you can't solve a problem, then it is not yours to solve !) CHANGING THE WAY YOU PERCEIVE the stressful item. Then, it is MOST IMPORTANT to LITERALLY SAY THE WORDS OUT LOUD (To give you the release that YOU NEED over it.) CALMLY, GENTLY in a MATTER OF FACT WAY, that even you would not mind hearing, if the situation was reversed, that THIS IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM. (Using the 'Golden Rule") Then you are free to MOVE ON or, MOVE IN to help you, and others. Good Luck and, God bless. Amen.
why is it ironic though?
Kenny Keppel Not sure if you meant to msg me with your question or not. The "ironic' statement was made by Raven Wilson in the top of the share box.

I'm going through this right now, dealing with alot of things and stress from work and other things. My hair falls alot and I'm starting to see it in the front of my hairline which makes me stress even more smh
me too.
I went through an extremely stressful time during the Fall and I didn’t realize how much the stress affected me and my body until I was out of it. My hair fell out, my skin broke out (and looks saggy and tired), I lost a bunch of weight (and then gained it back x2), my stomach was rough and I started getting severe heart burn, I lost my period for several months and I would wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. It’s been months since then and I am still trying to recover from the stress/burn out. It’s incredibly frustrating because it is a slow process and I miss the person I was before all of this.
My hair fell out for 16 months because of having covid I think it’s slowed down now. I’m having chest pains
Yes we are same☺️

That sounds just like what I was/am going through. I hope you're better and can heal.

Nola Gatto -- some people have Faith in God the Creator and His Son Jesus Christ. It takes time to fully understand and have Faith A Loving God will take care of His People. People that read the Holy Bible and do His instructions! God wants what is best for His Believers. Occasionally Breathing deep (not Yoga) and exercise are a big help as well. I need improvement on that. Helping others - gets your mind off yourself.
I experienced this once. I was super stressed and got really sick for a week after. It was really hard because at that time my parents wouldnt stop fighting and my dad was mentally abusing my mom as all I know and they divorced and they're "roommates" and while I was going through that I also lost both of my dogs one night and that was the hardest thing I went through and the scariest we found them but it still had a huge impact on me it took other dogs, and like 15 people including people on Facebook to find them. Recently I have been doing better but the impact of stress that is put on you can be really hard and I'm only 12 years old. Stay safe everyone and know you're beautiful and good enough ❤

The day I had my university exam entrance, I couldn't sleep at all, had severe nausea, fatigue, and my heart raced so fast.
As a college student, I experience a ton of stress all the time. Ironically, I am also always sick, slow to heal, and sluggish. Stress, as stated in this video, is the reason why I am chronically sick during the school year. The problem with this is that if I continue to stay this stressed all the time, I could start to impact my body and health long term. Stress is known to increase your chances of heart attack and it has a big impact on weight gain. I believe it is really important that people find ways of coping with stress. For a college student, this could mean taking studying breaks or planning ahead. It is not this simple for others who face stress everyday. I think it is important for people with chronic stress to seek medical help before long term effects take place and greatly change the dynamic of their life.
Very relevant analysis, ty 👍🏼
And how are you going to fix that? You don’t have to tell me, just think about it.
One of the best stress relief techniques is called EFT which stands for emotional freedom techniques. Check it out, it's easy to do, its self applied, the results are quick and lasting.

Make a video like this about depression.
+tea strazicic Wait, you animated this?
tea strazicic That is awesome. Keep up the good work.
*+Никола Поповић* I'm not sure a format this short would do it justice though. It would probably be the whole "chemical imbalance" angle without covering the many ways people slip into that state in the first place.
+Adrian There are some types of depression, and I think it wouldn't do it justice without covering them.

Meditation, yoga, journaling have been extremely helpful in my journey in dealing with stress! This was a beautiful video. Thank you, TED Ed.
Yoga is more of a Shirk
I've been on a really long personal journey with my anxiety and stress the past 2 and a half years I've been sober. Used to mask it with alchohal and drugs but finally back to somewhat normal after digging myself into a 9 year pit. What I can say about my journey and what has helped is
a constant curiosity of life and others, Reading books and learning more about mental health, trauma, etc to more understand my own, meditation, and having a daily checklist to avoid just laying in bed hiding all day. So for anyone going through something similar or on the same lines.. it is going to be okay. The best thing you can do is keep pushing forward. I just kept doing things that proved to myself I really do love myself and want to live a happy, healthy life. Never give up. Always keep moving. You got this.
Well this explains everything. My heart literally HURT when l am so stressed out, and l forget everything these days. I' m already stressed knowing this
Stay strong buddy. You can overcome it. I listen to nature sound (river, rain, wind, etc.) to stay calm. It works for me, maybe you should try it too. Hope you're doing well nowadays...

To the beautiful soul reading this. Please know that you are loved. Things may not be at their best right now but trust and believe that the universe has planned something for you. Everything is organized in a chaotic manner. You will eventually be led to where you should be, with the people you should be with. Just act with good intentions and the universe will take care of you, I promise. ❤
I understand the stress described in the video. It's a common challenge. Managing stress involves taking a step back, taking a deep breath, and seeing it as a surmountable challenge. Finding healthy coping methods, like meditation and exercise, is crucial. We have to be aware that we are not alone; there are resources and people who care about us.
Well that exactly mirrors what I am currently going through. Constant stress also makes me lose interest in the things that made me happy before, rendering them as a waste of time. I feel sick and sad... but it is going to be over soon. That gives me the power to carry through.
It’s reversible bro. Try exercise and meditation

The beginning of university was stressful. The new environment and overloadedness affected my productivity and ability to concentrate. Now, I have learned how to control myself, and whenever I feel like I am getting overwhelmed, I take time off and give myself time to get motivated again. Everything mentioned in this video was on point.
Hi I am inviting you
Come on my channel to feel relax and get relief from stress
czcams.com/video/SXemJHxFUUI/video.html 😡
Adding this on my to watch list so I can watch it every time I'm stressed. I have somewhat an anxiety problem and just get stressed/anxious for no concrete reasons, so whenever I get stressed, I ask myself, "What are you stressed about?" and make sure I get to the core of the stress issue and see whether I can resolve it. If I can't resolve it or run away from it, I have to learn to live with it. Then exercise, taking a walk, writing down validations and encouragement for myself, or talking to friends and family about anything also help. Easy to say though, sometimes I'm still so stressed that I can barely move, but every bits of stress management count...
This video stressed me out. Now I am stressed about stressing out over a video about my stress, which is stressing me out even more. Typing this comment stressed me out.
Same. I'm close to losing my nearly full scholarship if I don't get Bs in all my classes, and I will have to take another year if I fail my digital systems course, my professors aren't helping me, I have no friends I can ask for help and all people do is tell me not to worry and link me stuff like this. Like I know this but being reminded of stress shortening my lifespan while I am at a peak amount of stress is the last thing I need. I've been getting less than 3 hours of sleep a night the last 2 weeks trying to resolve these problems which doesn't help either. T.T I just want to pass my classes with a B average and have this semester be over, but there is some minor mistake in over 4000 lines of code to implement a simulated processor that I have missed, and noone is helping me and I've gone over the thing literally hundreds of times now. this one mistake which I can't find and haven't found the last two weeks could mess up my entire plan for my college education and my professors are adamant about giving me a 0 if I can't get it working and refuse to debug my code for me, but all I need is some guidance on at least were I could look, but as it turns out I understand the material better than all but one of my professors already and he won't help and everyone else say's they don't understand it or it should be working. If I can't get my final project done I'm going to fail this course over what is likely one tiny error. I've switched to modular testing and I've begun just hard coding outputs to see where stuff breaks but so far it still gives me NO output I could even debug. apparently noone else has this or the last three labs done in my section and I'm somehow advanced and the professor still refuses to help.... I've got to go. It felt good to vent, but I have to get that done.
EDIT: and no, even with the final If I bomb it I would normally get a C which I can recover from, but If a project isn't finished I get a 0 for the whole 5 credit course.

This is why teachers should not give students tons of homework.
+Kenneth Panuga They give homework because they try and pack mostly useless stuff in our heads and then expect us to pick up the slack and continue it.
If they were in charge of what they taught, you could bet we wouldn't need homework and we would be much smarter. But the system in place doesn't allow them to dictate much control of what is taught, this is changing.
+Kenneth Panuga The homework isn't the issue because homework provides practice. It depends on the type of homework and how good the teacher is at teaching the material. It's very dependant on teaching style and how good a teacher is.
Yes, i feel the same way. I feel that there is not a lot of learning going on in classrooms now, i feel I have to clarify topics by doing my own research.
It is, though. Kids (of all ages) need to be able to relax and de-stress after school. Note that the country with the highest overall academic achievement in the world (at least regarding children and teens) is Finland. One way they went from being one of the worst to the best in achievement, was by eliminating homework.
Most school systems in the US require homework. The US is NOT a world leader in education or academic achievement. Kids get daily homework, homework during holiday breaks, and in the summer. The best way to kill an interest in reading is to require it during summer vacation, or as homework (especially for a test or written essay).
We need to ditch homework, not just for kids, but for teachers (or pretty much ANY job), too!
I'm now "doing" homework.
After watching this, I'll be stressed from being stressed. Thanks TedEd
being worried or sad about something does not solve the problem, the best thing you can do is propose solutions and choose the best, but do not imagine the results, stick to the plan and live happily, do not blame yourself if it does not turn out, you did the best you could
Dealing with stress is a lifelong task.
The opposite..when im stressed i lose my appetite entirely. I have lost alot of weight because that
Lucky you. I wish I didn't stress eat

Damn there's only 3 of us in the world
Yeah because your body contracts. Your body focuses on the activity until then you get really hungry
Fuck I'm gonna have a stroke after watching this
SAME i stressed out watching this
try breathing exercises, I learned that in therapy and it helps a lot.
Giving your brain 5 minutes of relaxation a day can really benefit your health.
Sit somewhere quiet and focus on your breathing. Go to a calm place in your brain.
I learned this in a group therapy and it really helps.

I'm 30 now and have had daily stomach issues for about 17 years , in the last 4 or 5 months though it feels as I'm carrying a snooker ball in my stomach, it's painful and extremely uncomfortable, the best way to describe it is the stomach constantly being stuck in anxiety mode for months on end with no rest. I'm rambling lol but I'm getting a tad worried about it.
Look up David Snyder on youtube. He works with patients with same symptoms. Worked for my chronic chest pain :)
Coughed how is your blood pressure
Hope you are doing better

I got stressed out when I heard this
Sami S same now I'm even scared more 😂
Anxiety has ruined my digestive system, without a doubt. I've been going to doctors for a over a year with periods of lactose intolerance (yes, it can happen temporarily), pain in my stomach, and all sorts of IBS symptoms. Thinking about anxiety in relation to these symptoms really makes sense, to me. Totally feel that gut-brain connection.

I’m suffering from the exact same thing. Did u ever get rid of this problem?
Same situation here. Colonoscopy, endoscopy, ER visits, etc for almost a year. This was so well executed and the animation was hilarious 😂
If someone knows how to treat that please help 🙏🏻
Same , now have to get 3 tests done , but I'm pretty sure it's stress which makes my stomach to hurt all the time , before any exam I'm sick , stress is really contagious 😪
You’re in charge! We have something that we need to overcome ourselves. I know that making big deal about it is not good to my mental healthy but i have a habit of keep thinking about it. Everybody’s deparately afraid to go through worries, fears and obsessing thoughts. So, When I went through this, i was just try to take it to the next level to forget these things. I think we don’t have to mop this up! Sometimes, we might as well just get past this. That’s the way life is, isn’t it? I’m just saying we could stop stuggling with this. Worrying about it won’t solve anything! Let’s see some action!
the secret of controlling stress is to actually embrace what causes it. You have to bear with it and at the same time find happiness; that way you're appreciating it and doing its part
That’s why I try to live stress free, everyone deals with stress, I just try to keep mine under control so I can live better and healthier.
Amen.

The end part is important. The effects of stress can be stymied as long as you have
1) an understanding of your situation (knowing the cause of your illness or stress)
2) sufficient control over your situation (you don't have to have the power to change it, just being able to do something about it is enough)
3) a belief that your situation will get better
Surprisingly in one of my workshop interactions I used this exact concept of considering problems as challenges rather than problem threats.... absolutely.
I always look at problems or inabilities as challenges and enjoy overcoming them. I am so thankful to be born in a developing country and be now living in a developed country. This perspective towards life is so easy to develop for people like us, it just comes naturally.
I'm stressed 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
feel adrenaline ..:?
@VICTOR I don't know what you've been through but stay strong friend. I believe you can overcome it. Anyway how are you now?
Dammn, cant even sleep can you?
this helps me when im stressed out- i ask myself why am i stressing out and then tell myself its not that big of a deal, i will not make it better by stressing out, it will be what it will be, you dont have control over everything, nothing will change if you worry too much about this, stress means you’re trying hard so dont overdo yourself by trying *too* hard
i just realised this is from two years ago how are you doing?
I am definitely feeling the long term effects. First year of college really did a number on me. I was crying 2 hours a day. Never slept. Sat around reading all day, and never went outside. I lost a lot of hair, now I'm trying to grow it back. I'm in my second year now, not full time this time, but I'm struggling so much. My memory is horrific, and I have zero concentration. I have heart problems and blood issues as well as depression and anxiety disorder. I have bad digestive problems and heartburn (eroded teeth as a result).
"College is the best part of your youth" my mom said.
"You'll know real stress when you move out and work" she said.
"You just need to smarten up and learn to be happy or else you're going to fail in life like you are right now" she kept telling me..
😢
how are you doing now??
Hope you are doing well. Even if u think you aren't, you can do well now. Just don't be hard on yourself. There will be many people to criticise you already, you don't need to criticise yourself. Give yourself the love and patience you deserve
This explains everything I’ve been going through. Now I understand it better, I can concentrate on getting better.
There are people on this earth who never experience conflict. Prolonged conflict is not good for you! You have to solve your problems.
Well I'm going to die soon.
Are u alive
Of course. He is post malone
You good?
No don't..
;). No, you will not!
Getting work and having to have it done and send it in the same day during this pandemic is literally killing me right now.
THIS IS SUCH A HILARIOUS EXPLAINATION OF STRESS!!! I LOVE IT ! FEELING STRESSFUL IS COMMON,BUT TRY TO BE CALM AND GET STRESSED FOR THOSE WHICH YOU CAN CONTROL AND NOT FOR THE ONES WHICH YOU CAN'T
Stress can definitely cause sickness. As a student, exams are one of the stressful things. It strongly affects people that wants to be perfect, eg. Top students. I'm one of the top students from my class. Wanting to be perfect and wanting to get full marks/grades is very stressful. It results into getting panic attacks, crying and most importantly.. stress. Which will also result into getting sick. Eg. Fever, headaches, etc.. basically getting a common flu. Even sleep walking AND sleep talking! It is very rare, but it happened to me once.
(Edit) Context: My mother was in my room, looking after me since I was sick. (From stress) she told me that:
I just sat up on my bed for 10 minutes straight, when my mom asked me what was wrong.. I apparently replied "I'm going to the restroom" after I got up.. I stood in front of the window (which was closed, covered by curtains) and just stood there... looking at the curtains-. My mom thought I was going to start peeing there, haha..
Ok the blue guy in the end makes me think............of something weird
It reminded me of titanic
@TheRedcokatoo New What?
I don't understand.
I think meditation
He looks like a character I’d see in Adventure Time.
Reminds me of that cloud dude from the amazing world of gumball
I've had this. Bloody awful.
Same here
I’m suffering from it right now
Hah so true
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but everyone experiences stress. Its not a “some people deal with stress” thing
The visuals here are just incredible.
I cannot stress how important it is not to be stressed out when stressful things happen.
Me: (cramming for a test)
CZcams: Hey I heard you were stressed. Check out what stress can do to your body
Me: (stress intensifies)
Aye
When you realise that you already have some of the effects said in the video
‘ well I’m going to die soon ‘
Me and I am just 15
Very unlikely that it will kill you I just pick the things that Stress me out and remove them. especially if your young
Easy trick to reduce stress: Inhale 4 seconds, Exhale 8 seconds, do this as long you feel stressed, and longer. I personally do it while working, sometimes for half an hour. It calms me down and even helps my autoimmune condition. Hope it helps :)
Yeah, when I try to sleep, I inhale for 17 seconds, hold for 10, exhale slowly. Rinse and Repeat, adding 10 seconds to each Inhale. Usually fall asleep before I get to 127 seconds (with the help of Melatonin.)
Was looking for a video for my psychology class, found the perfect one on TED. Thank you so much!!
Im literally so stressed out right now, I start to cry like all the time and I miss my dad and grandma so much (Theyre not dead and I can just go to their place tomorrow) but still i just miss them and start crying.
RawZit grow up, if you can see them tomorow then what are you stressing about?
Rich 1 Thats what I am thinking about.
Cool story!
Rich 1 That's a bit harsh dont you think?
Boxs It's ok I know the internet.
does anyone experience back pain or tense bowel muscle from stress?
Flaky 96 Back pain is a very common symptom of stress.
Mark467 really I do not see much of information for treatment on the internet:(
Yes definitely
I've had neck tension for about 4 months now. Its finally starting to get better
I’m sure somebody somewhere does. There are a lot of stressed people in the world.
Last minutes gave immense motivation
Stress has been a major part of my life for very long. I always associated with achievements. The more stressed I am the better the results. My body has actually been telling me for the longest time. I had allergies and other auto-immune diseases, always had diarrhoea, dull skin and hair, I was horribly irritable. That's not a way to live. The last sign was that I woke up with blotches all over my body and a lump on my throat. It was thyroid cancer. I vowed, two years now, that I *will never* put my body through anything like that again.
My body is my temple. It is sacred. I manage my stress levels so much better now.
Hi lalabutterfly how is your blood pressure?
Currently I'm at home (I was feeling sick/ having digestive issues) and this may actually be why. Thank you for this video. I never considered this to be my problem.

I have chest pains
my stomach is actually so BAD
I lay in hospital a few years ago after a burst stomach ulcer.
I asked a Dr why did this happen ? Aged 30
He said " do you smoke cigarettes ? I said "yes...but not anymore after being sick "
I got to thinking that everyone who smoked didn't have a stomach ulcer.
Then I realized it was my lifestyle
And at that time I'd been under great stress for 2 years...
So...I stopped stressing and improved my lifestyle... that was 32 years ago and good health since..
Both my father and son died of stress related issues...I was lucky enough to see the waning signs...
When I first started college, I was extremely panicked and terrified of leaving my family and being on my own for the first time in my life. I also had a horribly painful stomach illness for a week, couldn’t eat anything, and vomited everyday. I had no idea why I was so sick, but now I know it was because of the most stressful experience of my life.
It seems that I can't eat when I'm stressed. And then I stress out more because I can't eat.
Sinéad Ní Láimhín I'm the same!
Bo law can’t eat as in no appetite? Or the food goes right through you wen you do eat?
@@brooke4608 I have no appetite when stressed , literally no hunger
This makes me sad. My dad passed away when I was really young due to heart failure due to stress. Over the years my level of stress/anxiety/depression have spiked so much. My worst fear is that I'll end up like him😢
Get professional help from your PCP, psychiatrist, and/or a therapist. Your conditions can be managed. Exercise regularly and eat a healthy nutritious diet. Practice stress reduction techniques. You got this.

(Hugs)
I'm so glad this isn't all in my head 😢 in the space of 1 week I have been moving house, my partner of 8 years broke up with me and the other day I was in my first car accident 🙃 I'm so anxious and on edge lately and easily angred. So tired too. I just pray this eases over time.
Thank you! I needed this today...Really puts things into perspective!
Not even kidding, if my professors decided to give me an exam review instead of telling me to go review the last four months of homework with no guidance, I probably wouldn't be watching this video.
The animations are a great way of presenting stress in an adorable way and thus make it seem less terrifying that you've come to the conclusion that you endure too much stress every day and are leading yourself to a slow and deliberate death.
I work at my local hospital’s Sterile Processing Dept. The extreme stress from working under pressure with surgeons barking at us, being on call fro 24-hours, as well as Covid have all collided. Even though I run all over the place and barely get a chance to sit, I’ve gained weight and my cholesterol suddenly spiked last year. So, what I have learned from this video is that I need to quit my job and work part time at a library.
