Coping With Stress: Understanding Negative Strategies
Coping Strategies to Avoid
When faced with stress, individuals often adopt methods they believe will help. However, not all coping mechanisms are beneficial. Here are two strategies that can worsen your mental health:
Avoidance
- Many people try to avoid stressful situations altogether.
- This can lead to increased anxiety and heightened stress levels.
Overwork
- Some believe that working harder can distract them from stress.
- This overcommitment can eventually lead to burnout.
Being aware of these negative coping strategies is crucial for mental wellness.
