• The only person who controls your stress level is you. Stressors may happen, but your reaction to them will determine the outcome in your body.

• “Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.”

• Teacher notes follow.

General Adaptation Syndrome

Alarm Stage

This is the immediate reaction to a stressor. In the initial phase of stress, humans exhibit a "fight or flight“ response, which causes one to be ready for physical activity. However, this initial response can also decrease the effectiveness of the immune system, making persons more susceptible to illness during this phase.

Resistance Stage• Your body will repair any damage caused

by the stress in this stage, however if the stressor does not go away, the body cannot repair the damage and stays alert.

• High blood pressure• Hives• Insomnia• Lack of appetite• headache

Stage of exhaustion

At this stage, the stress has continued for some time. The body's resistance to the stress may gradually be reduced, or may collapse quickly. Generally, this means the immune system, and the body's ability to resist disease, may be almost totally eliminated. Patients who experience long-term stress may succumb to heart attacks or severe infection due to their reduced immunity. For example, a person with a stressful job may experience long-term stress that might lead to high blood pressure and an eventual heart attack.
