What You Should Know
Stress is something that always happens when we encounter any challenges. Some stress is actually good – like when you’re getting psyched up to play a sport. But too much stress gets in the way of doing well.
It is important to learn how to deal with stress so it doesn’t create problems.
There are three main ways of dealing with stress:
- Using good problem solving strategies
- Changing the way you think about the situation
- Decreasing your physical tension
There are lots of specific strategies to handle stress but some may be harmful in the long term (such as avoiding important things). Many of the ways to deal with stress are also good for anxiety since they are closely related.
What You Can Do
Based on your answers, we recommend:
- Learning more about stress and how to prevent it from becoming a problem in your life.
- Check out Apps and Tools if you want to learn specific skills for managing stress.

Your Results
Your answers suggest you are experiencing many different stress symptoms and they may be intense. High levels of stress often are tied to very demanding times or events in your life. At this level, stress may be getting in the way of your school, work, or relationships with family and friends. It can also affect your health – you may be experiencing a lot of tension, headaches or sleeping poorly.
People experiencing high levels of stress often don’t need professional treatment but often could benefit from some support from others to get back on track. Using good stress management techniques can also really help.
