Stress Can Do What?!

            With the end of the term fast approaching, and finals just around the corner, it’s easy to get stressed out and have a panic attack. What we need to keep in my though, is the fact that too much stress can potentially harm your body.

            Stress Conversion Syndrome can manifest itself in many different ways, ranging from temporary paralysis to blindness, or seizures to numbness in your limbs. Anyone and everyone can be subject to something of this sort, but studies have found that the majority of patients showing signs of this are female, and are most commonly between the ages of 13-22.

            To avoid developing a conversion disorder, be sure to get plenty of exercise, and try and maintain a diet that is high in nutrients that will boost your energy levels. Also, find something that interests you and is relaxing. For some, music is a wonderful thing, almost like a pain reliever. Other though, would insist that painting or reading a book is their prime type of relaxation. There are even those who find solving math problems to help relieve stress.

            Whatever it is you find relaxing, make sure to set aside time to unwind and take a breather. You’re going to need it!
