Stress may reflect immediate pressure, ongoing uncertainty, competing demands, or conditions outside your control. Begin by describing the load rather than judging how well you tolerate it. A clearer picture can help distinguish what needs support, action, or assessment.
How to use this page
Choose one current source of strain. Use plain descriptions of effects rather than scores or labels.
Name the demand
Describe what the situation asks of your time, attention, money, body, or relationships. Note whether the demand is temporary, repeated, or unpredictable.
Map the response
Notice changes in attention, mood, physical comfort, or behavior. Include what supports are present and what is missing; symptoms alone do not establish a cause.
Reflection prompts
Use these questions in conversation, on paper, or in the downloaded PDF. You may adapt or skip a prompt.
- What is the specific demand or uncertainty?
- How is it affecting my day and functioning?
- What support or resource is currently missing?
- What needs attention first: a practical problem, support, or a health concern?
