At-home moms stressed more than major CEO's! Is this you?
by Dr. Allan Gilchrist, Psy.D
All kinds of things, good and bad, cause Stress in our lives. Do any of these sound familiar?
1) My child hates me;
2) I don't have enough money!
3) My daughter is getting married;
4) Why is their music so damn loud!
5) Is he having an affair?
6) Is he cheating on me?
7) How much is that going to cost me?
8) I'm going to be late for work again;
9) My parents health is not so good, am I going to have to put them in a rest home?
10) The death of a family member, loved one or close friend;
11) Where is the money going to come from?
12) Why can't I watch what I want to watch on the TV? When is it my turn?
13) Is he ever going to ask me out on a date?
14) What if I ask her and she refuses?
15) What! Am I a money tree?
16) My child is flunking;
17) Why do they spend so much time on the internet?
18) The engine/transmission on my car just gave out;
19) What should I wear to school/work today?
20) I don't have enough money, I don't have enough money, I don't have enough money, I....
21) If only I had more time!
The list goes on and on, doesn't it? These are only a few of the things that all of us deal with, sometimes on a daily basis, and each one of them causes stress in your life. Sooner or later, they become one more straw on the camel&Mac226;s back, the one that breaks it! Sickness, neck pain, back pain, stiff and sore muscles, ulcers, shingles, serious depression, stroke, heart attack! Is it any wonder that 95% of all visits to health care professionals are stress related?
Stress really is the KILLER of the NEW MILLENNIUM!!
Did you know that heart attacks for men between the ages of 45-54 have increased by 80% in recent years? Are you headed in that direction? Do you want to find out that you are headed in that direction AFTER your heart attack? It might be eternally too late when that happens, and what about the loved ones you will leave behind? Your wife and children who need you for so much more than your paycheck!

These every day stresses add up and pile up. We don't reach dangerous levels of stress overnight, in most cases, it is a gradual modification in your lifestyle that creeps up on you, little by little, over the years, and we just simply think that we are taking life&Mac226;s vicissitudes in stride, and getting on with it. But the truth is, this "new" lifestyle of "getting on with it," is taking a terrible toll on human life and lifestyle. Why does 80% of the US workforce suffer from stress? Are you in that category?
Why do 400,000 American citizens attempt suicide, every year! That averages 1,095 daily! That figure is comprised of men, women, and children! Why do we allow Stress to have this much control over our lives? We don't have to, we can fight back!

13 BILLION doses of tranquilizers, barbiturates and amphetamines are given yearly! That is an average of 481.5 doses per year for every man woman and child in America! And we know that all the children are not on tranquilizers, although it would frighten you to know how many are! What is going on!? Stress!! The effects of parental stress on children is so sad, but too real to ignore! How many newspaper articles have you read in the last year or so? Just recently there was the woman, Madelyne Gorman Toogood, who was caught on video as she brutally slapped and punched her 4 year-old daughter in a department store parking lot. Is this something you or someone you know has done?

62% of the American workforce ends the day with neck pain! Are you one of these? The phrase, "what a pain in the neck," has become such a part of our lives that we think it belongs there as part of our lives; that phrase is not a joke, we are being diminished and destroyed by what causes those pains in our necks--Stress!! Wouldn't you like to send Stress into the background, where it belongs?

Eight million American workers have stomach ulcers! This is not caused from eating spicy foods, it is caused by Stress! Are you one of these? Are you going to be one of these? 20 American workforce employees are murdered each week! Has your own personal life been touched by this tragedy? Do you know someone whose life has? Why have we as Americans allowed stress to become such a controlling influence in our lives, why do we accept such a debilitating, yet easily correctable condition, to destroy the lives of thousands upon thousands of our friends and neighbors? Stress can be controlled, it can be put in its place!
