Are you a Victim of Stress?
Stress tends to be thought of as one of those things we can’t quite define, but instead we think “I know it when we see it.” Yet, this is seldom true. Stress hides in many places, causing problems we’re not always aware of, in ourselves and our loved ones.
For the sake of argument, or to prevent one, let’s use the simplest definition of stress we can find by performing a Google search… “A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.”
Now that we have a definition of stress, the next question becomes, “Am I stressed?” To help you find out if you or someone you love is feeling stressed, and may need help dealing with it, we offer the following links to sites that offer various forms of a “Stress Test” for you and your family.
