Acute

This is very common kind of stress and is associated with the pressure present in surrounding environment which comes and goes very quickly. It is kind of tension, when the conflict is resolved, it also vanishes away. In many ways this kind of stress is very helpful as it gives us rush of exhilaration which we need to force ourselves to resolve some kind of challenge

Acute episodic

It is more than tension and is more serious one. Most people, who live disorganized and cluttered lives, usually suffer from this kind of stress. We find ourselves this kind of stress when our lives are jumbled mess of late arrivals and could not be able to give ourselves any sense of normalcy and fall into “chronic worries”. This stress is kind of acute tension and going to affect us over a long period of time and could cause heart disease and high blood pressure

Chronic

Generally, most of the people suffer from this kind of stress. You are suffering from chronic stress when you are facing typical financial frustration, long term relationships becoming bad, poor working environment.

Tips on managing stress and self-esteem

They also provide the reason to leave the couch and do little exercise. Their companionship helps us in warding off the chief reasons of stress like loneliness, feelings of abandonment and lack of interaction

Sometimes we need to bring change in lifestyle that is necessary to break the bonds of stress.
