Stress Society

I have thought hard for a longtime to Blog on this issue that is like a bug or virus that mutates into different diverse forms to plague and haunt all from family,friend,flatmate to the everyday people who experience and relive it.
Stress is anything to do with strain or pressure be it a squeeze in finances,relationships,work related,prospects and emotional psychological issues.
In Contemporary living and lifestyle Stress has dominated the front page of Social Media and prompt reportage as cause of many mental health issues,behavioural problems such as suicide pacts and violent misconduct in society.
The pressure of unemployment,underemployment,divorce or break-ups,bankruptcy(insolvency),financial uncertainty and cost of living allowance coupled with the fall of standard of living has generated extreme stress in society to the point of serious breakdown.
Social issues create high anxiety and low self-esteem as in status anxiety from the home to the workplace,and because life in modern times is fashioned to image and meeting targets and bizarre schedules many keep worrying about today whilst they're in today because stress society is subtle and can be unrecognised or go unnoticed until it rears is ugly head for it's victims.
Modern living and lifestyle has invented a cosy environment to smoothen technology deficiency but the same system apparatus creates strain and pressure on people as in a double edged sword thrust into the bowels of a person. Satisfaction is based on piling a heavy load on someone else to alleviate one's level of stress in order to get some relief and partial theraphy the worse place to see evident society stress is at the Millenium Bridge in London where top Professionals in rows of columns walking can't even smile or wink on enroute to work. Sleep deprivation,long hours behind the office desk,bending over the computers and painkillers coupled with designer narcotic drugs fuel further pressure on body,mind,soul and spirit to the maximum.It is a generational issue that cuts across nationalities,races,tribes,faith&religion as well as sexual orientation and gender. Children and teenager are not immuned as self confidence wanes over life challenges and feel insecure,insufficient and excluded from mainstream society and makes them engage in social vices to identify with gangs to inspire and draw inspiration from. These issues have led to broken society,mental health,lack of caring,sharing and loving to animosity,petty jealousy,hate crimes,to all forms of rage and sudden tantrums od depicting split personality mood swings of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde.Theraphy helps to alleviate and create temporal relief,Government schemes and programmes are transcient and society is a virtual hostage of itself as stress holds society to ransom and wont let go seizing mindsets as the Body Snatchers as such this Blogger believes in the way of combating modern stress society is through faith in God and not secular or Liberal institutions that are shortlived and do not give permanent respite for sufferers of society stress.
