I cannot feel stressful

Post Reply New Topic

I know most people get serious and stressful when they have some problem.
I always feel like my problem will be solved by itself or it can't react me. It make me cannot keep thinking and doing seriously about anything.
Depression is the emotion I think resemble stress the most, because I will think negatively when I get depressed.
Every time when my family or my doctor ask me about my social problem, I must try to be stress by thinking negatively and get depressed.
Does this happen to you?

I'm jealous. For you see, I'm the opposite - I get stressed out very easily. I used to be in fight-or-flight mode to the point where my heart was constant racing and I couldn't sleep. I was diagnosed with GAD and prescribed Xanax. Now my panic attacks are under control, but I still worry a lot and I am easily upset by different things.

I don't feel much stress either.

If I never got stressed out, I wouldn't even have anxiety. In fact my life would be a lot easier without it.

I can handle whatever life throws at me until I come across somebody else with stress.

Example, the other week it looked like the TV was on the blink and my wife and I was going to be without TV for the day, no problem, no bother to me. My wife on the other hand was not so happy, she flew off in a rage like it was the end of the world and threw herself into bed in a stinking mood, I lead next to her where she went on and on in a negative spiral about this and that, I kept telling her it was nothing and not to worry. After half an hour of negative chit chat about nonsense I finally snapped and told her to stop it, it was too late, her negative energy ended up being felt by me. I spent the next 5 days in a deep depression and wanted to die.

This always happens to me when others are stressed out, if I’m not careful it makes me depressed even when the situation has nothing to do with me.

I’m generally a happy chappy until I take on somebody else’s emotions, namely my wife’s.

Trust me, this really suck’s, once I’m caught up in somebody else’s weakness my mind goes as well.

I should move to a planet where there are only happy people LOL...

champthabo, all I can say is: Wow, I am jealous as well.
Stress has a major role in my life, I feel it most of my time and especially when I feel too much stress this can backfire (chronic illness, stress can retrigger it, being bullied pretty much ruined my health I guess). In fact, I'm quite stressed right now as well because something is wrong with me (physically) so I was told to stay home instead of going to school today (which makes sense), but this situation is so uncomfortable, I'm worrying a lot most likely about nothing - and that is the weird thing: I know it's most likely not even worth to worry about it, yet I still do it and I'm feeling stressed due to this...

I feel the effects of stress. I am not sure I always feel stressed when I am stressed. Sometimes I notice nothing until I lose speech or can't move, which happened to me last night.
