The Alarm Stage is the first stage of response to a stressor, during which it prepares its defense for action. The response during the alarm stage is called the fight-or-flight response because it's characterized by biological changes that prepare the body to deal with a threat by either fighting it off or fleeing from it.
The Resistance Stage is the second stage (AKA the adaption stage). During this stage, the body attempts to return to a normal biological state by restorin spent energy and repairing damage.
The Exhaustion Stage is the third stage. With continued exposure to stress, the body's resources may become seriously depleted and the individual may develop  what is called "diseases of adaption"- stress related disorders.

Being a server is very stressful and I never want to disappoint a customer. So when the hostess sits my section three times in a row and I have 20 other things I need to be doing, I can't get to the customers quick enough to get their food a drink order. Their already going to be annoyed since they had to wait to be seated. This makes me panic making me fight harder to do my job better and getting to the customers in time. ]]> 2017-09-06 16:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/p2wq4k9ho1na/wish/185188831 hcarter0306 https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/p2wq4k9ho1na/wish/185194285 Resistance Stage: A prime example of this would be school. Going to school hasn't gone away since I graduated from high-school. I honestly just adapted to the stress since I know I have to go to school which makes me feel even more tired and irritable. ]]> 2017-09-06 16:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/p2wq4k9ho1na/wish/185194285 hcarter0306 https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/p2wq4k9ho1na/wish/185197257 Exhaustion Stage: My mother has a very stressful job since she is the head of her department. A lot of the time, she has to come home and continue her work because she did not get all of it done in one day. Sometimes I feel she may be depressed because she does not get to spend with my family as much as she would like. I know she has prescribed Vitamin D pills and low iron. I don't know if that's due to stress or not. Also, my dad is a mechanic so he gets very stressed out a lot because he is old and not able to lift things like he used to when he was younger. He gets sick very often because he's either in the blazing hot sun or the cold winter days. They deal with their jobs because they're dedicated to providing for my family. ]]> 2017-09-06 16:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/p2wq4k9ho1na/wish/185197257
