Psych Final project question

Question

Hello! I am currently working on a psychology final, and my project is on stress. What causes stress, how we cope with it, and how it affects everyday life. So my question to ask reddit is, What are some causes of your stress, what ways do you use to cope with it, and how does it affect your life?

Answer 1

Hello,

There are all kinds of things that can cause stress. For me, I usually feel stressed when there are too many demands on my schedule or I am in conflict with someone that I care about. The easiest way for me to deal with my stress is to exercise or do relaxing activities such as taking a warm bath or sitting outside listening to birds. Stress can cause physical and psychological distress. I ave experienced nausea and headaches from stress. I have also experienced emotional stress that causes depression or anger. Hope this is helpful!

Answer 2

Hi! I took Psychology and loved it. For me, causes of stress include school and getting everything done on time. I cope with stress through exercise, watching a favorite TV show, or listening to music. It affects my life because it adds pressure and anxiety, but I have learned how to use it to positively impact me. Hope this helps!
