STRESS THE SILENT KILLER

<p style="text-align:center;">STRESS THE SILENT KILLER</p> <p style="text-align:center;"></p> <p> </p> <p>We are going into the third year of this pandemic, and this has been a very stressful time. Many of us had to deal mentally and financially with many hardships, and we have our political leaders invoking fear of this pandemic. I have been highly stressed doing this pandemic coping with my medical issues, and just dealing with the health and welfare of my family stress is also known as the silent killer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Stress is a reaction of the body due to any change leading to physical, mental, or emotional tension. It may arise from any occurrence that leads to frustrations, anger, and nervousness. The body's reaction to these feelings is stress.</p> <p>Stress may bring a positive or negative effect, depending on how it is handled. Stress response may be beneficial in protecting the body. However, stress has harmful effects, becoming a severe chronic condition if not well managed.</p> <p>I honestly believe that our political leaders have placed a lot of stress upon the American people. I read that Colorado has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation among adolescents ages 11 through 18, which is pretty horrifying. In a lot of this came from not having social interaction with their peers.</p> <p>It had been said that the COVID-19 pandemic increased its suicide depression anxiety in many other health issues that were not COVID related. I'm sure that perhaps this number went down, at least according to the CDC. I am not sure because numbers can be manipulated just as numbers have been conducted about the number of COVID deaths, including the alleged number of people hospitalized.</p> <p>We even had one of the Supreme Court Justice make a false statement about the impact COVID-19 had on children, and this is the highest in America; what type of an example it's being set here.</p> <p>Well, at least the Supreme Court struck down the vaccine mandate coodles. Thank you for doing this.</
