Addiction to Stress

The addiction to stress is typically a badge of honor one holds for having a high tolerance to stress. The unspoken truth of addiction relates to the patterns leading to the typical forms of addiction. The falling into addiction started far before any typical occurred. Unfortunately we reason with the truths of life and slide into addiction that makes life even more difficult the more types are added in various levels of being. Addiction to stress is just one type of addiction we don’t talk about and we certainly may see within those we judge as addicts, but don’t face the addiction to stress we may have within ourselves also. The measuring stick many have for addiction is to look at those addicted and try not to get there ourselves. This isn’t the way forward as a society, the way forward is to get to the root of addiction and not hide from it any longer.

The road to addiction to stress, can begin in utero, as grow if you are a baby listening to the fighting in the next room. The stress within the pregnancy, for one before a hand in marriage, was a gauge for stress tolerance that occurred within the baby. The road, this type of start to life leads, is one the Lord has chosen to help with via an uplifting promise for love by the Lord God Almighty.

The variations of experiences one may have, versus another, have similarities. They are inherent within the stages of the addictions to stress, but the levels of acceptance or a boundary may shift the path for someone’s life. Where this addiction leads afterwards and during depends upon how a person responds to their experiences.

The unspoken truth of addiction is a path where a poverty of love is a dominate force of nature that consumes seasons of life, making them feel like storms of various levels of weather. Weathering them becomes a message of struggle and survival. Any abundance may be known but the masks of poverty embedded within each experience may hide the truth of what could have been felt. I want to tell you the Truth, please hear me.

God, Jesus, and many Guides and Archangels are fighting in Love for you to know Love.

They did this for me, and do this for you also.

They made sure I knew the truth of love within a person that chose to share love with me.

They made sure there were moments of experiences where love was known.

The number of events or experiences doesn’t matter.

If you are alive, breathing the life the Lord has for you, you have known love in some form.

Addiction to stress is not necessarily creating stress within your life on purpose, for some it happens because when life is calm and they crave a need to be within their stress window. This is a poverty in comfort, whereby the need to be within a stress window is defined as being productive.

When one is abused or lives within that type of environment, the stress accepted as part of life, is like standing in a storm where you don’t have control but you can’t leave, you can’t move, you survive. The longer this is, and the more you develop within the stages of addiction to stress, the more comfortable you are in associating productivity from survival being a impoverished version of what productivity is.

This may be a rain storm at first, but with experience something within starts to see the patterns of what could be and prepares for a hurricane or tsunami or tornado. It may be less than that for some, and it may not be abuse, but hardships within stress a family endures may create an addiction to stress also. The poverty of bills, health concerns, divorce, blended families, and not knowing how to navigate life with what is, all the while bouncing off generational patterns of trying to control a force of nature that feels impossible is inherent within addiction to stress.

When you have an addiction to stress, you push the feelings down and avoid what you can, until you can’t. You crack eventually and it is either through other addictions that become, or physical changes in your life that break you: health, isolation, risk analysis, infidelity, divorce. What those look, including how you complete your version of personal growth, defines a path within this addiction and coming out of it, also.

The 5 Stages of Addiction to Stress

The First: Health

Health breaking down begins for many within the mind body. Beliefs you hold about love for yourself and your life become shadows of how you see life, experience life, and as this may deepen the visual perceptions of what is, and becomes a message in poverty at a deeper level. The brain will experience and reason with what is experienced, to be different than what is. The worthiness is lacking and the emotional responses become shadowed also. As the avoidance to handle life with less emotional swings and more positive thoughts, the barriers that feed stress shut off ways to accept a higher perspective during those stressful times. The tools for survival replace Guidance. Over time the body receives the blocked heavy energy as a loving way for our spirit to say, please, please do life differently. Mental health, Emotional wellbeing, and physical wellbeing then begin to break down in various aspects and types of experiences.

Children born with jaundice have stress tolerances driven from a lack of worthiness. The patterns of energy accepted within utero that leads to jaundice is: lack of acceptance, poverty in love, abandonment of love, and rejection of love by the family from said child.

Abuse from volatile forms of anger can mask the brain within victimhood, impacting memory and the ability to trust themselves in uncertain or new situations. The blindside of such events limit gifts from being used and shift the abundance of what’s possible into a limiting form of being realized.

Closing down or shrinking because of uncertainty upon how to survive can close the gateway of Guidance also, within unworthiness. Some may feel this is an opening others pickup as weak and may prey upon another. That is there reaction, within another addiction swing. The addiction to stress in this situation is the tendency to close down, not knowing a better path and believing this is survival. Accidents, being bullied even more, and entering risky situations where you blame yourself for being gullible are common to impacts for your health.

One swing in an extreme is to prey upon another. Another extreme is to blame yourself into a perfection to avoid risk. When you do for either, you develop a way to read stress energy and know the pathways you are comfortable being within to feed an empowerment that become easier to know yourself. The exit strategies for finding the identity within your health and wellbeing, become part of your addiction to stress.

The Second: Isolation

Isolation is more than isolating yourself from those in your life. It begins by getting good at isolating emotions, beliefs, and even parts of your physical life where you need to hide or you need to lock it up safely. The safety within this reasoning is the solution for survival. It feeds the addiction to stress because you feel better when you lock something away and forget intentionally, but your spirit can’t.

When isolating such as this, the energy hides aspects within the depth of what is. It become acceptable or part of whom you have been or are. For some, this acceptance becomes associated with a societal reasoning, such as spanking, or the spare the rod messages. People get good at hiding true feelings in order to push through stressful moments, until you can’t because of physical health issues or physical changes to how your life looks.

When you hit a level boundary, a choice is made and the addiction may shift into finding tools to excel to feel better about yourself. Most do this within the personal growth industry. A common isolation tactic is to use affirmations to avoid what is, to move into what could become. Another is to seek out ways of being to help break you out of a shell you formed trying to make yourself feel small, trying to isolate yourself for safety.

Shields to warn others not to worry about whom you are, is a isolation technique to earn respect when there is an unspoken truth about abuse victims. The shields are the boxed beliefs and emotions built up to not talk about what is, has been, or the fear of what may become. The lesson through this that can be healthy, it is to respect privacy, but to read into moments where help has an opening without pushing through a boundary, initiating resistance.

The isolation of energy was boxed in ways, where one manages worry and anxiety within a threshold. The isolations used to box energy surrounding worry and anxiety to manage, become a recipe for a crash, when antidepressants are used to help a creep over a thresh hold. The body responding to this event may tell you, the medication isn’t allowing you to function as a human anymore. The depth of lethargy is scary and one may not be able to move through life with the medication reacting to the isolated energy that was within the person’s comfort zone for addiction to stress.

The Third: Risk Analysis

Risk analysis for an addiction to stress is testing life. Those of us along this path began first discerning the vibe within a room, coming from a person, and trying to envision how safe life would be if we were part of an experience. The idea of saying yes or no, if given a chance, was weighing what the abundance might look like. If being around certain people felt beyond a stress point, the risk was too high. For some, many actually, the methods used to analyze risk improved and this allowed a comfort zone of stress tolerance.

For me, like many abuse victims, talking about the abuse was a risk and weighing it against wanting fun and joy for moments in life, well the positive outweighed the freedom. The love from my mom between those moments, along with not seeing another way, made the only freedom possible was adulthood. I can’t explain why I didn’t tell people. I can only tell you now what was because the Lord Jesus urged me enough to break free of unworthiness, through facing the risk built up within an isolating mask surround an impoverished love dampening the beatings into a message of “I was never abused”.

Not being able to see the path forward in any other way is a limitation formed within the brain functionality both generational and experiential to the person. When one does not feel safe the ability to see another way for a potential is limited; one has trouble seeing a different path than what they are experiencing. Tools and methods used to find a path, such as divination, become part of the addiction journey in relation to stress moments. The habit formed via discernment in staying safe is to avoid steps and abusive experiences.

There is another aspect of risk analysis that becomes, with regards to addictions, it is a poverty within a learned respect. The significance for how the respect was developed is the important for discerning if poverty within how you analyze the respect, in knowing how it impacts your life. For anyone abused as a child, by a parent or adult figure, and told to respect adults also, this forms a poverty with respect and a harm to your intuition also.

When one has developed a talent for risk analysis, observing others and picking up energy for what may become, becomes a way of being. Conversations in trust may occur, and then the person has the ability to choose how far they want to stay supporting such decisions of another. Seeing someone make life choices isn’t easy, but trusting in timing for when to help in different ways is a path worthy of knowing.

When abused, and having an addiction to stress such as this, the risk analysis of what to do, and knowing an exit strategy before engaging, and during can be inherent to any experience. It is checking in to know what signs to watch for, and what to do to remove yourself when the risks become uncomfortable. It is an impoverished trust in self, due to the significance of why it became.

Being blindsided in any way, even during a sport, can set boundaries that limit potential positive paths in life when you are using this type of risk analysis. It can also reinforce what respect is when someone swoops in to help you in much the same way you were blindsided.

Risk analysis becomes an inherent way of controlling the flow of abundance within your life and what you will allow, versus what you won’t accept. The weights and measures of what abundance may become are analyzed to control a level of uncertainty that fits your addiction to stress.

The risk analysis within relationships when it comes addictions to stress, has a person believing others are not trustworthy. You have to be willing to let them in, and the walls that become need to reflect trust. Otherwise one runs, dumps what is, and lets go. We may not say anything, we may just choose to not engage. Isolation master as we. We know the level of risk acceptable for us, in any occasion, and this may vary.

The Fourth: Infidelity

Infidelity, I’m told, is more than stepping out of your marriage, which I’ve never done. It is however, being unfaithful to yourself, to another, to the church, etc. When you think about this, in regards to shadow, and how it relates to stress habits. We’ve all been unfaithful towards ourselves, the difference is how far we took it. What were boundaries accepted as allowed for your life?

The journey of unfaithfulness is a poverty of value and worth; essentially a poverty of love. The difficult valuation of unfaithfulness is where the unworthiness and lack of value stems from. Intuition and gut instinct are impoverished at some level when this happens, and how we choose to nurture a healing journey to regain some semblance of faith in life usually starts with knowing these two aspects of trust within our self is off.

The list for how you may have become unfaithful can include many aspects of life. Many of these could stem from childhood if you were a seeker of love, attention, and would do this knowing the risks that may become. The lines, the boundaries you were willing to cross may vary for one versus another, but the root is unfaithfulness in yourself.

Trust in self and the Guidance that may be there in the background is beautiful, but not everyone feels and knows how to feel this Love and Light. The addiction to stress by this stage has barriers that grow and distance you within fear. Seeking a solution with faulty flashlight because you didn’t feel Love or forgot to check in for it, is a path of unfaithfulness. How far one goes within beliefs surrounding worthiness, value, values, and the poverty within them is a personal perspective that could be dangerous.

Additions to stress isolate those beliefs, emotions, and the connections between them so avoidance and false form of letting go or letting it be is possible. We get good at wear a mask that hides whom we are in different experiences, this isolation and infidelity. This is being unfaithful to whom you are.

When there is infidelity in unworthiness, and you are depleting your value within your life also, your physical health breaks down. Heart problems, anxiety, depression, and more including cancer can occur. Infidelity is a lesson for boundaries, it is a need to know how to honor yourself within a faith you didn’t necessarily know was possible.

For those wondering, my path for infidelity was depths of shadow due to not trusting or having faith within myself. My faith was my belief if I reached out to God or Jesus, they would help me in wonderous ways. My faith was within my husband and my kids to know love, and be loved. My faith was within family and friends in various ways, when I could let them in enough. My faith was within my career and my identity within that career.

What I didn’t know was the faith God, Jesus, and many Guides had in me was helping me find Love and Light in ways I didn’t know.

They meet you where you can be within, always.

The Fifth: Divorce

Divorce isn’t just about a hand in marriage. I know this because I’ve experienced both kinds. The first I was a child of divorce. My parents divorced and one remarried, while the other was common law. I have a large blended family that was complicated. The other type of divorce is relating to isolation with regards to your addiction to stress.

As the depths of shadow, the infidelity, continue to isolate because you need to manage the stress, you forget parts of who you are; divorcing parts of whom you are.

You adopt versions of yourself and in stressful times you choose to embrace the suck in a not so healthy way; to please another. This is as simple as not having faith in yourself when meeting new people. You desperately want to say no, but obligations force the natural response to a “sure let’s go.” Inside though, the risk analysis is done and you get ready through the stress, box the anxiety, push it into the closet as you grab your coat, and try to place a smile and calmness around you so you don’t ruin for anyone else. The mask is on, secure, and you eventually have enough of these where the mask is part of you and the closet is full.

Until it tumbles.

The level of forgotten parts of you vary depending upon each level of stage you allow within the boundaries you find comfortable to how you grow into an acceptable uncomfortableness with yourself. The latter tends to be a giving up and often chaos, separation, and the choices to forget future possibilities tend to include chemical substances that may become addictions also.

Where ever you are within this spectrum, the closet full of emotions and beliefs…don’t tend to it by stuffing and organizing within to fit more. Just allow yourself to face what is, so you find yourself within that divorced version of being. Somewhere in there is love you forgot to know, for yourself and the life you have. Somewhere in there is a faith in yourself desiring to know you. Somewhere in there is a knowingness of value and worth of whom you are.
