Making the most of isolation and limiting my peanut butter toast addiction.

![What is stress? How much stress is too much? But I’ve always been this stressed? I operate best under pressure. Sound familiar.... remember the old saying, the straw that broke the camels 🐪 back?
Yep. Eventually something has to give.
Take it from these brains 🧠
Psychological stress arises when people are under mental, physical, or emotional pressure. It arises when the individual perceives that the pressure exceeds his adaptive power. It is perceived by the brain and stress hormones such as corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), glucocorticoids, and epinephrine are released. This triggers a wide range of physiological and behavior changes and responses that try to adapt the body to the stress [1]. However, if the stress responses are inadequate or excess, they may trigger adverse physiological events [2]. It has been shown that stress can trigger and/or exacerbate multiple conditions, including cardiovascular disease [3, 4], migraine [5], multiple sclerosis [6], epileptic seizures [7], and neurodegeneration [8].
Recent research has confirmed skin both as an immediate stress perceiver and as a target of stress responses.
