This is a re-draw from last year. This Stress Performance Curve is based on Yerkes-Dodson Law. It shows us that we generally perform better when we're under an optimal level of stress. When it comes to getting things done we have to have enough "stress" to create drive. This encourages us to get things done. Too much stress and we burn out and too little stress and we don't have the ability to get going.

When You're Under-Stressed

Then you're under-stressed, it means that you're not being challenged. This often happens to kids in school when the work isn't challenging. When there's no challenge there's no drive to get something done. It's very much a "why bother?" attitude.

That's why many of us thrive in challenging careers or when doing work that we love.

When we're in optimal stress we feel motivated but not so much that we're overwhelmed. We want to stay around the middle where "good stress" makes us feel creative and focused. This is when we feel like we have just enough work to keep us busy but not enough that we feel like we can't get it done.

The Stress Performance Curve can translate to our home lives, our careers, and our school work.

When you're constantly stuck in the high-stress zone, you'll find that all stress is bad stress because you're already at your max capacity. Even if there's nothing you can do about your stress levels (because sometimes there isn't) it's important to keep an eye on where you're at and do what you can to get to that optimal level, or a lower level (we can't always be productive and that's absolutely okay!)

Where do you fall on the Stress Performance Curve today?

Whether you're casually having sex, just started dating, or are in a committed relationship, setting and respecting boundaries is essential to any and every relationship. It's important that partners feel comfortable expressing their wants, goals, fears, and limits, and everyone's boundaries are honored. That means everyone feels comfortable communicating their needs without fear of what another person will do in response.

If your partner tries to minimize your needs or violates the boundaries you established, then they aren't showing you the respect and trustworthiness you deserve.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people between 10 to 24. Sometimes it feels as though your struggle is being underestimated by your age. But we hear you, and help is available.

How To Take Care Of Yourself

Ask for help. Don't be afraid to reach out to friends and trusted adults in your life for support. You can also call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline any time - calls are confidential.

Make a safety plan. A safety plan can help guide you through difficult moments and keep you safe. Having a template on hand with an established plan may be helpful, or you can get help and guidance at https://www.mysafetyplan.org/.

Family conflicts, relationship hardships, school pressures, and discovering your identity can feel overwhelming and impossible to deal with alone. Losing relationships and important people in our lives can also feel overwhelming. Seeking out support can make these changes manageable.

Love and friendship are all about respect. Toxic or unhealthy relationships can negatively affect you. Whether you're dating or building new friendships, remember your rights. If you're being bullied, help is also available.

How To Help

Never dismiss what your loved one is saying. If your child/adolescent, friend, or family member confides thoughts of suicide, believe them and give them support.

Listen with empathy and provide support. A fight or breakup might not seem like a big deal, but for a young person it can feel immense. Empathize and listen. Don't minimize their feelings, it can affect how they reach out for support in the future.

Learn the warning signs. Friends sometimes let friends know if they are thinking about suicide or dying. Other times, changes in behavior may show that someone is struggling. For more guidance on steps you can take to help someone thinking of suicide, visit www.bethe1to.org.

Don't keep suicide a secret. If your friend is considering suicide, don't promise to keep it a secret. Tell him or her you can help, but you need to involve other people, like a trusted adult. Neither of you have to face this alone.
