According to a great article in the NY times, “If you have the awful sensation that your body’s stress response has taken on a self-replicating and ultimately self-defeating life of its own, congratulations. You are very perceptive. It has.”
This article needs concentration when trying to understand it, but it well worth it. It explains how your stressed brain tends to be susceptible to further stress due to its’ own reaction. But the good news is that is also assures you that the brains reaction to stress can be reduced. It is worth more then a casual read and also development of a plan to decrease your own stress response.
This is similar to the theory of “Kindling” that we use in Psychiatry. It basically says that stress effects your brain in such a way that it makes it more easily effected by additional stressors.  LEARN TO BREAK THE CYCLE!
