The effects of stress on the body are pretty well-publicized. High blood pressure. Weight gain. Pains and headaches. Heart attack, stroke, and death. The definition of stress: the silent killer. And stress management systems try to deal with this by telling you breathe deep, visualize your happy place, and get away from it all???
These techniques do not get rid of stress. They make you feel a little better - until you come back to reality and face the stress again. But what is really hurting you - what makes stress actually much more focused and intense - is that stress destroys your relationships. Your friendships take some of the stress burden off you. They help you with ideas to fight the stress. But subjecting your friends to each and every anxiety attack will drive them away. And breathing deep and thinking happy thoughts won't be what to do to relieve stress or save your relationships.
