Other stress is not normal and may indicate problems

On Mondays, many people think twice before getting out of bed and go to work. This can be considered normal, most of the time, and explained by the pace of a weekend of rest week, out of the usual routine. The problem is when this unwillingness persists.

The discouragement, in some cases it may be one of the symptoms of stress, which can cause headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, attention deficit. "When we see that inattentive person in the office or having trouble concentrating at a meeting, we can come across someone who is experiencing stress," says psychologist Armando Ribeiro, who coordinates the stress evaluation program of the Beneficência Portuguesa de São Paulo.

Ribeiro says that not all stress is harmful to health. "In acute cases, it is important for performance, gives you grab because the hormones produced in these cases leave people in a state of attention. The problem is when it is chronic. "

When one is in a permanent state of alert, the body produces excessive amounts of adrenaline and cortisol and this can lead to physical problems. "The body is with low immunity and people are more prone to colds, for example. Combined with genetic vulnerabilities, stress can be the activation key to problems that we tend to develop, "says the psychologist.

He explains that with the rush of everyday life, it becomes more difficult to see when you are going through this. "We just repressing feelings, our inner truth, and when it comes, appears strong, in an explosion of a curse or a physical illness," explains Iara Chalela Genovese psychologist.

She who felt guilty and thought he did everything wrong in the workplace, was doing therapy. "It's helping a lot and I'm still in treatment. What relieved me was being sent away, "admits the former employee, who was fired last Thursday.

In therapy, Iara points out that it is important to stress the person seeking to know. "There are many ways to do so. Art is one of them. One may draw, for example, to relieve "suggests.

But Ribeiro warns that the workplace should also be more welcoming. "No use the person taking care and return to a toxic environment again. Companies are true pressure cookers. Entrepreneurs have to invest in the quality of life of employees, as it is known that for every $ 1 invested in this area, there is a $ 12 return. "
