Word Up Wednesday

Today is National Stress Awareness Day! Stress is the feeling of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with mental or emotional pressure. It is vital to remember stress is a normal feeling. Some stress can be beneficial. It helps individuals stay alert, and motivated.

However, too much stress can negatively affect your mental and physically health. Being constantly under stress, can cause headaches, an upset stomach, high blood pressure, chest pain, and problems with s*x and sleep. Also, too much stress can lead to depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.

Talk about it Tuesday

Did you know mental health is often looked over due to the stigma attached?

Reasons may include lack of awareness and education, or an individual’s culture, or religion. Stigma and discrimination can contribute to worsening symptoms and reduced likelihood of getting treatment.

University of Texas at Arlington offers multiple services for students, such as case management, counseling, a 24/7 crisis line, and an emergency assistance program.

Mandatory Self-Care Monday:

Self-care means taking care of yourself so that you can be mentally and physically healthy. Self-care is part of the answer to how we can all better cope with daily stressors. Individuals often get caught up in their daily lives and forget to provide self-care. It is important to allow time for self-care. Self-care will not look the same for everyone. It can be in any form, as long as it is something you are enjoying.
