You scored 7 out of 23

Re: stress assesment
 

:eek: I demand a recount :p: Mind you I'm not at work at the mo so I suppose it should be low LOL ;)

Re: stress assesment
 

I scored 7, but the test is flawed (aren't they all?!) by automatically associating symptoms with what they're trying to test without considering that there may be other causes.

For example all of "Feeling sweaty or shivery", "Pounding heart or palpitations", "Needing to go to the toilet a lot more than normal" and "Feeling sick in the stomach ('having butterflies')" could all be the result of medical conditions that have nothing to with stress and many of the other questions could be likewise.

Personally I wouldn't get stressed about it! :D

3 for me :D

Re: stress assesment
 

9.. not bad

Re: stress assesment
 

Very high, but having stress related psoriasis its no suprise.

All my stress is caused by women :Yikes:

Re: stress assesment
 

Excessive thirst can be connected to diabetes and therefore the needing to go to the toilet may also lead on from that.

Same goes for headaches.Most of mine are hormonal related or lack of sleep.

Insomnia isn't always about stress-it can be because someone keeps poking you awake for snoring or there is a particularly noisy pigeon nesting at the bottom of the garden. :D

Ah phooey to such questionnaires.

Re: stress assesment
 

Scored 15. It's all pointless anyway :cry:

Now - cream donut or finish that half bottle of gin. Hmmmm

:p:

Re: stress assesment
 

Mmmmmmm Cream Donut definatly, got one spare? I'll make the tea! ;)

Re: stress assesment
 

One of those huge chocolate covered ones from Greggs (nee Thurstons) :drool: Wish I had one, never mind one spare :( It's been a day worthy of a chocolate binge.

Re: stress assesment
 

Its always a day worthy of a chocolate binge, have a rummage in the fridge, there's bound to be something there. I think I've got some yummy cream filled ones from Salisbury's in the freezer, but they'd take too long to defrost and I'd not even consider microwaving them, the carnage!

Re: stress assesment
 

I got 19 out of 23 - and after the week I've had I can fully understand why.

Re: stress assesment
 

Hmmm. Fridge contains a tub of marg, two onions, 4 pts of milk, bottle of mint sauce and a dodgy bottle of BBQ sauce. Freezer contains chips, bread, and peas. I have 3 tins of beans, 2 spaghetti, packet of smash, and 9 small tins of peas (dunno what I'm gonna do with them). Oh and a bag of pasta. I've just done the fortnightly food shop otherwise I wouldn't have much in at all :rolleyes: I might have a mini toffee crisp kicking around somewhere :erm: It's been a week worthy of a chocolate binge... :p:

Re: stress assesment
 

I'm bemoaning how bad my life is so if you want to get it off your chest...

Re: stress assesment
 

I probably shouldn't on here - but thanks for asking me to :)

Re: stress assesment
 

I usually use my blog - it's become sort of notorious :D

Re: stress assesment
 

i hope to join you soon ;)

Re: stress assesment
 

Yeah,I noticed.WHEN I get time I'll try and get a word in edgeways. ;)

Re: stress assesment
 

Yes Sah! *salutes


Anyway. just taken it. Scored 1 out of 23, which was actually higher than I expected to (I don't get stressed easily, in fact my old Boss used to say he could tell that the s**t was really about to hit the fan when I did show signs of stress).

:blush: I'll try to be less garrulous :D
