Hans Selye once said,"To be total without stress is to be dead". Selye discovered the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS). GAS is a series of three stages of the response to stress in prolonged stress. dbrown1220 https://padlet.com/dbrown1220/2463vnnxg1se/wish/255486277 2018-04-26 02:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dbrown1220/2463vnnxg1se/wish/255486277 Alarm reaction dbrown1220 https://padlet.com/dbrown1220/2463vnnxg1se/wish/255487997 the first stage in GAS.

My aunt and uncle were killed that day. My family didn't want to tell me, but i found out anyway. It was the worst pain that I have ever felt. I started not to focus on school and my alarm reaction kicked in. I was so stressed out that i lost all focus for school because I was distraught from what had happened. Which is when the stage of resistance started. I failed all of my classes that semester. Because of the stress of losing family, I was unable to put my full attention into school. I went to the funeral and all of stress poured out of me when i saw my aunt and uncle in the caskets. A day that i will never forget. ]]> 2018-04-26 02:31:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dbrown1220/2463vnnxg1se/wish/255489860
