    I agree with that. Stress can create its own chaos.

    "Me too", you have to figure; I'm still working on my explanation skills. :) Sometimes I don't make things clear; judging by some of the reactions I get at times. :D

    A little stress can be a great motivator, such as when prompting a student to study before an important exam. A lot of stress, however, can create more of an obstacle than a benefit. This is true when it comes to many things, including health-promoting behaviors, relationships, and even our memory.


    Stress can inhibit the way we form and retrieve memories.


    https://www.verywellmind.com/stress-and-your-memory-4158323#:~:text=Stress can affect the type, eyewitness testimony is so unreliable.

    Research has found that stress affects our memory in many ways, each of which has different impacts.

    Stress impacts so much of our lives, and although we can't always eliminate that stress, we can learn to manage it in a way that will help support self-improvement in many areas of our lives, including improved memory.


    Poor sleep, high stress, and other physical problems can affect memory as well as contribute to the stress that impedes memory formation and retrieval.

    I've found that movement is the most effective way to deal with stress.

    It's not a real time, back & forth interaction.

    I wonder if some of this stress is actually a matter of being distracted. Hard to pay attention when your paying attention to something else.

    Jenna Jake hasn't been in a social environment for almost 30 years, all work and no play kind of man. He has done all the work and repairs on our home, autos, boat and never hires anyone to help. It is one thing after another. Just a different kind of stress is all.

    I’m not trying to be funny but we men are not built to solve more than one problem at a time.
    We’re kind of like a computer. When too many pages are left open on a computer and too many functions are being done at the same time then the computer gets bogged down slowing access to memory and gets literally stressed out and cannot operate up to its full capability.

    “Men are Waffles, Women are Spaghetti” is an excellent read.

    Coincidentally, I watched an episode of "Dr. G." Last night. Dr. G is a pathologist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_G...ia (born September,her retirement in May 2015.
    The episode was about a young, healthy woman who died suddenly. The autopsy revealed a small Aneurysm in a blood vessel in her brain - not especially dangerous & many people have these & don't know it. During a family argument, the stress spiked her blood pressure enough to burst the aneurysm, killing her.
    Having had similar issues in my dysfunctional family, I know how bad I physically felt. I do believe stress can be deadly.

    Mental illness is bad and some cures are worse, yet helpful at times. I can't handle most drugs although I do take BP med if its up. It makes me feel bad mentally, so only if I have to. Most people do well taking it as prescribed though.

    Stress can be deadly; I agree with you on that, Tony. I know more than a few it killed.

    Stress can kill directly or indirectly. Many youths are committing suicide because of loneliness.
