Also, for both, list at least 1 person that you know that you believe has that type of a personality. Put yourself in one of those categories, too! Impatient ? Type A Personality Relaxed ? ? Type B Personality

* G.A.S.- Hans Selye * Correlation between psychological stress and physical illness -Become aware of stressor -Fight-or-flight response -Prepare to fight stressor - Negative consequences of stress appear -Cope or adapt

* When faced with a choice between stress related burnout or breakdown, burnout is generally a better choice. * Burnout is similar to physical exhaustion. * When we do the same physical work over and over again, at one point we become exhausted and the body gives up on being able to do that work for a while.

* Nervous breakdown (or mental breakdown) is when the tension from stress gets so high that the mind and identity of a person break under the pressure. * He/she “lost it.” * Before nervous breakdown * Such people are almost obsessively focused on the things or work that stresses them, and they are unable to deal with even the smallest distractions. They are trying to hold onto their sense of control very tightly, but they feel it slipping and this terrifies them. They might lash out in anger or fall into depression at any time. * During nervous breakdown * The symptoms include erratic behavior which seems to lack any continuity or meaning to an outsider, spontaneous outbursts of emotion, inability of social interaction or even the inability to form coherent thoughts and sentences. How long this state lasts and the severity of it fluctuates depending how well the person picks up the pieces and what kind of new identity he or she chooses to create. * How can stress, a thing which is not physical, break a person? * Stress is a result of inner conflict: we feel like we have to do things we don't want to, and be someone we don't want to be. * We try to delude ourselves and endure (this manifests as stress), but if we find no way to resolve this inner conflict, some part of us has to give up and break down. * What breaks during a nervous breakdown is the identity of a person - it is the way we see ourselves and which determines how we interact with the world around us. The way we think, the way we feel, our behavior, our habits etc. all together form how we see ourselves, and when this perceived identity is torn apart, all that are left are pieces. * Breakdown is the ultimate way to end stress - through self-destruction. * Thankfully, a nervous breakdown is not the end of the world. We are perfectly capable of rebuilding ourselves any way we choose even if it means confronting our inner demons. * What doesn't kill us makes us stronger- a nervous breakdown forces us to look deeply within and create a better 'self'.

* Put up your collages and fully functioning assignment!
