Most Stressful Events In A Person's Life
Life is stressful as it is. Then there are some occasions when the anxieties magnify.
Not a single soul can claim to have a stress-free life. Everyone encounters them in their daily lives. The stress itself vary in magnitude. There are some particular situations in one's life that can be major stressors. Here are some of those occasions and triggers.
Teenager To Adult
Most of us begin to experience the stress of living around about the eighth or ninth grade. Soon enough, the most important academic exam of our lives has to be negotiated. And about that juncture of our lives, the concept of peer pressure begins to escalate. All begin to experience physical, behavioural, and emotional changes. Coeds explore newer relationships. A sense of independence informs existence. Habits undergo modifications. It carries all through the senior secondary and college, as we shed the teen tag.
Job interviews And New Jobs
Not just the very first interview or the job of your life, but any subsequent interviews and jobs, at any station of your life is a major stress event. Besides the anxiety of performing well in an interview, one is not sure if it in itself guarantees you the position. Then, starting a new job, one enters an established environment and may feel overwhelmed on the first workday. One has to tread carefully so as not to step on other's toes.
Working life and Workplace
The initial stages of working life are very enjoyable. Whatever be it, one is earning and can indulge in some niceties. Then, the grind reveals itself. About one-quarter of the workforce maintains that their job stresses them out. The constant pressure of performance, workload, office politics, fear of losing the job, working within limitations all has its toll on the mind and body. The negativity can even spill into personal life.
Marriage
This is both sweet and bitter. The act of getting married is a happy one, but the process can break quite a few. To make the day eventful and memorable, many go overboard with the worrying. Weddings also involve trying to cater to and please a sizable invite list. To leave everyone with an impressive do can be overwhelming.
New Home
Packing and unpacking is a true headache. Rearranging old belongings in the new space can be tricky. A new neighbour means to start that relationship afresh. Comparisons with previous living experience is almost inevitable. A new location also means one will have to familiarise with the local amenities and services. One is bound to be apprehensive of garnering the same supports and favours.
