There is a famous expression in English “Stop the world, I want to get off!” This expression is actually about a feeling of stress, which makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing. Why not try to relax? “Stress” means pressure. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
There are plenty of physical effects(影响) of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can make the heart beat faster or miss beats, and can also cause high blood pressure. Stress can cause a person to breathe too fast and can also result in stomachache and digesting(消化) problems. These are a few examples of illnesses resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People who have too much stress often feel worried and tired. When people are under stress, they often overreact(反应过度) to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may shout at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry or nervous easily.
Long-term stress can lead to different kinds of serious mental illnesses. Depression(抑郁), a terrible feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Being unable to sleep well is sometimes caused by stress and is often made worse by stress. If stress continues, then one’s mental health is at risk.
It is clear that stress is a serious problem. It has a great influence on the health and our feeling. So, cut down stress, stop the world and rest for a while.
