Hypertension And Heart Disease By Crystal.. What we perceive as stressful has great bearing on how well we manage it. Women that are already overloaded will feel more keenly as well. In general, we feel when we experience: negative events, uncontrollable or unpredictable events and ambiguous events.
How stressed you become has much to do with your personality as well. For example, if you have a negative outlook on life, you will probably feel more than someone with a positive attitude. Some women like to find meaning in uncontrollable events, which gices them a sense of control. Others like the challenge of difficult situations.

and try to look at lessons learned instead of beating yourself up. When times
get tough, surround yourself with supportive people: close friends, family members,
and so on. Do not take things so personally.
