Stress
What is Stress?
A frequent and often heard-of definition of the word stress is that it is a physical and/or mental response the body gives out what it is feeling a sudden change or when it feels challenged enough to be moved into that state of being.
Some repeated and observed symptoms of stress would be aches of pain all around the body, mostly found in the head or chest area, growing of weariness, abnormally high blood pressure, a constant feeling of nervousness, or the big sad itself, depression.
Although the above are most of the symptoms you get from having stress, not having all of them doesn't quite mean you might not have it. The ones listed above or ones that weren't mentioned can be short-term, lasting spurts at a time, or chronic ones, lasting for a long time or even forever.
What can you do?
Alright, you now know that you definitely have stress . Next your going to say, "What now?", right? Right? Whatever, this is just me messing around. The next step you should take is finding out what possible treatments there are to help cure or minimize your symptoms to help reduce stress levels. Sadly, unlike depression, there is only 1 way of treatment to this, which is self-care. Some of these self-care methods are meditation, yoga, exercise or just being mindful of what you're eating.
To be frank though, if these methods aren't what you like to do, you can always do what you find fun or interesting. That's kind of why "self" is in "self-care". If what you're doing isn't fun, relaxing, or interesting for you, then it probably won't help with your stress, maybe making it worse. So just, as I quote, "Be yourself" and relieve stress your own way, if you like.
Resources
Just like depression, stress is also one of the major inhibitors to students while at school and at home and there has been a spike in cases of stress among students after the beginning of the supposed "2-week" lockdown. Unlike depression though, stress is more of a personal thing, personal solution to your personal problem. There are resources for middle school, high school. and college regarding stress, but you might not find them as effective as just doing activities that you yourself find enjoyable.
