Existential crisis - Answer-Disruptions of certainty of existence as we know it
-they threaten identity
-can disrupt certainty and faith, may lose faith
EXs:
-divorce (till death do us part and what I know of life is this persons partner, I am a wife
and divorce shakes that foundation and sense of self, i've been married to a stranger)
-loss in faith of government (what does it mean to be an American anymore)

Pile up (A) - Answer--The accumulation or clustering of stressor events (aka- one thing
leads to another)

Types and Factors: The initial stressor then all of this can flow from it

scapegoating, shunning etc.)
-ambiguity

Hardships of initial stressor Pile up A (domino effect) EX - Answer-if I lose my job lose
my income, if i lose that i use my savings up, im late on bills, my credit tanks, when my
credit tanks, i can get a loan, my car breaks down and i cant pay, i lose transportation
and cant get a job

Chronic stress Pile up A (baked in) EX - Answer-initial stressor is onset of a disabling
condition in a family member
initially loss of time, need to learn new skills, effected person and loved ones may
experience depression or other forms of ill health

they will not go away because they are chronic strains

transitions Pile up A (Life goes on) EX - Answer-life can only stay on hold for so long,
people have to keep living
-making the transitions can become additional stressors that accumulate
Deployed family member may go missing in action
-puts family on hold but they cant stay on hold, non normative- are they still alive? do
we consider them when we move forward in life?

Consequences Pile up A (internal or external appraisals) - Answer-people may blame
themselves for initial stressors for problems occuring
-if it weren't for me, everyone would be better off
