Stress: Putting A Number On Various Life Events

[Dsport]

My theory is that if the various stressors hit 60 you are in real trouble and need significant help or empathy. A person can survive balding intact as long as all else is OK.

Hitting 100 is considered dangerous to survival

50 death of family or friend

40 major illness

35 Balding beyond nw2

30 getting divorced

25 fired or downsized

20 bankruptcy. My thinking is that a young healthy man can shake off a major financial setback

Damn I was at 105 about this time last year. Got past it though thankfully.

Poverty is the second biggest stressor if you ask me.

When some one is poor,they don't have fast options to move upwards in life.
Every single thing becomes difficult.
In this case,life has persistent stress.

When i was kid,i saw how difficult was for my Dad to even pay my monthly school fees.
I was always late to buy new school uniform.
I was always late to buy new books.
Still my dad made sure i don't have education problems.

Thankfully,that situation is no more now.
I have experience biggest upward mobility in social levels,thanks India.

Divorce/Breakup/baldness too are also bigger problems too.
But this problems can be handle properly.
This problems are temporary.

Poverty have different impact.
Your entire friends circle forgets you.
Relatives don't want to communicate with you.


Now,when i see the life of other people in deep financial depression,it makes my brain restless thinking how they will move out of that.

I agree to your 50 number category.
I will feel it to be more than that,like 99/100.
See how i am scared to even write what you said.
I don't have daring to even type that 50 thing.
