Really stress is a weight on everyone's mind one way or the other and in different ways because not everyone's life is the same, families, jobs, studies, money, etc. Stress isn't a new thing, it has always been there but if it increases to a point that a person is rather struggling to manage their lives it can be linked to mental health, which is Anxiety and even Depression could come in as well. Is it serious or not? That can be a yes and a no answer, meaning yes if the person doesn't any support or the right support to manage it. No, if it is managed as a whole but this can vary and depend on a lot of the things, the person's health, etc and the situation they may be facing.
Take for example a person with a disability who doesn't have any support. They are struggling to cope and they are struggling to find support, that can be a huge problem for them if they can't get help to deal with it and on top of that, there's a risk it can increase their mental health. This could make them stressed, anxious, and even depressed, without making things even worse not knowing what could happen next but doesn't necessarily mean it will come to an end but really it needs to be sorted just in case.
Only once upon a time, we use to get on with every day mostly without thinking about it and with very little or no help at all. Really still not a lot of it has changed only that we are aware of it. I know it makes no sense but there is more help than there used to be but there isn't. Very often now if there are reasons why there may be no help, it's mostly down to funding, etc. Whereas going back over 20 years ago or more no one really understood stress but then they were aware they were facing it, which makes no sense really.
Over years lifestyles have changed, parents were mostly married, single parents were very rare, although I was one of the very few children born from a single parent, which wasn't hard for me naturally my Mum it was, only that I was curious of about my Dad, which is a personal situation I had to learn how to live. However' although to be fair a lot of adults were at work etc back then including my Mum, which my Grandmother, Aunty, etc would look after me.
People were more stressed and tried because they had been working all day and because I was a kid back then I didn't understand, don't think I can now be honest but I think they were still struggling money-wise, etc.
Whereas these days there is a lack of employment etc causing people to struggle but then somehow money seems to just about strength years ago, but people still struggled.
There again there was less IT, well none at all really and we were aware of less crime, etc. Yet we were so much happier but then we weren't which is hard to understand. Think the answer is that there was very little help out, really we didn't know what help was so we just got on with life somehow, whereas today, it's a cry for help if we cannot get the help we need. That doesn't mean though that we should go back to where we used to be and admit there is no real answer to that.
Stress is something we all face because there's always something we need to deal with even if it's very small but also it isn't always a necessary experience, even possible experiences can be a challenge to cope with. However' not everything but most things can be hard, too much to cope with, etc, and even a health risk in different ways if things really get on top of people. Stress can be very serious if people take on too much in life but strangely be well worth it in many possible experiences.
However' with the Coronavirus lockdown stress is increasing a lot one way or another. With most people not able to travel at all to work etc at all or as much this becomes a huge change in people's lives many are not used to whether they face disabilities, other problems or not. For those who worked a lot, this change may make a huge difference to pay, work, businesses, etc to help themselves, families, etc. Even, most people who haven't been on benefits now may have no choice to go them now because either work, business, etc isn't paying what it was or and even worse they may have lost work, business, etc, which is a huge worry and I guess a lot of stress on them. Another risk could be also a huge risk to their mental health if they haven't faced before, they may do now or in the future but not saying will in everyone's case, in fact of this could be a guess but just an awareness of what could be happening.
That alone is enough but if you face disabilities, mental health other problems, etc, that is extra meaning even the smallest things a person could be more sensitive by. In a lot of cases, stress is added on to Anxiety because most people find their mind hard to stop thinking and worrying, but then that can happen as much anyone if they do have important things to worry about but even the smallest easiest things to others can feel a lot worse for people who disabilities, mental health and or other problems, mainly one is Anxiety. Without having to repeat me without being ungrateful to those who want to help, because whatever it may be possibly seems worse to them than what it may be to you. Saying things like don't worry etc is easy to say but not easy for the person to do, which why for most people it's earlier to break the problem down bit by bit, slowly treat it as a serious problem even though it might not be, and help them to deal with it. In some areas, the person may know they will live with the situation but the fear is just too much for them but it may be something they cannot get out of for whatever reason so they need some support or should I say empowerment how to deal with it, It might be something fearful but it may be something for their own good.
For example; I am feeling Anxious about having breast screening because I have never had one before. It is playing on my mind but I know it is for my own good, however, having to accept that as a small situation is it seems like a big deal to me and it shouldn't be but even though I know that I find it hard to feel I can go along with it no problem. However' once that appointment has happened it's likely I am going be feeling less Anxious and maybe I may not feel as bad for the next time I will have to go through, cause I will know I will have to be scanned ever so often now I am over fifty.
