Do you get easily stressed?

We all deal with stress at some point. Sometimes it can be a minor thing, while other times it's a major issue. People have different ways they act in stressful situations. Some can handle it without any trouble, but others tend to get stressed easily. I'd say I'm a person who can easily get stressed. From the outside I may seem calm, but inside I'm wrecked with worry. For the past few years, I've faced some sort of turmoil that has been stressful. Sometimes when I get stressed I get headaches and if the stress builds up to much inside I tend to get irritable at times. I know I shouldn't let it bother me so much and I need to work on getting this under control. It's something I do plan to work on. Do you find yourself getting easily stressed? If so, how do you handle stressful situations?

I suppose if I lived in a house with other persons constantly around I would be more likely to get stressed. Right now a very slow internet is making me stressed, so I am going to leave it for awhile and do something outdoors.

@Kandae11 Living in a house with other people around all the time is stressful, believe me I know.

@dramagirl26 My own sister can't believe how I stress for the simplest things.

@marlina Same here, although I tend to not stress out too much about something silly.

I also get irritable if I have a lot lot to do and not enough time or what I perceive to be not enough time to get it done, so i know how that feels. I do like to be busy at the same time though, but there is a delicate balance!

@maezee So true. I tend to get upset when I don't get everything I need accomplished, yet I also realize there's always tomorrow to get it completed.

I do get stressed easily but I think I handle it better now that I am older. Also, I have a very good support system so it helps a lot in alleviating my worries. Sometimes just knowing that you have people who believe in you, and by being surrounded by a lot of positive people helps a lot.

@Courtlynn Do you tend to get easily stressed over small or big things?

It depends. I used to get stressed about everything, then wouldn't. Now I usually get a little stressed and end up ignoring it til it builds up and i have to deal with it which is something i gotta learn not to do

I handle the smaller things usually okay. The bigger things such as financial struggles or health issues I have to stay in prayer or I worry too much.

@LovingMyBabies With issues like finances and health, it's easy to get stressed over the concerns.

I don't get stressed easily. I have no secret. It depends on someone's character, doesn't it?

@MALUSE You make a good point. A person's character does have a lot to do with it.

I do get easily stressed. I am, however, pretty good at hiding it from everyone else. I turn my mind towards writing or reading to get away from stress.

@JohnRoberts Same here. I can be relaxed one minute, then the next something happens to get me worked up.

No i don't and the doctors have told me that stress was a huge factor in my heart attack. It is definitely something that I will have to learn to manage better. I hope I never have to go through this again.
