Default Where is your stress level???

I was surfing the web and ran across this Stress Calculator: http://www.healthcalculators.org/calculators/stress.asp

I think I went through it a little fast and may have checked a box or two that I should not have but I scored a 382.

Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying, not to loose my head. LOL

Although everyone responds differently, major life changes are some of the biggest causes of stress, both positive and negative. This interactive tool gauges your stress level based on the number of life changes you have had recently. Your score shows a rough estimate of your current stress level and the likelihood that you will have health problems due to stress in the next 12 to 18 months.
Short-term (acute) stress can keep you awake at night and make you feel irritable and edgy. High stress levels over a long period of time (chronic stress) can cause serious health problems such as high blood pressure. And high stress can weaken your immune system and make it difficult for your body to fight disease. Stress is linked to health conditions such as depression, heart disease, and asthma.

Monika678, maybe that explains my sleep apnia, irritable moods, blood pressure problems and struggles with alergies. I'll keep my fingers cross about the heart thing. My dad didn't make it past 58.

Sweet. Hope you live till you're 130. That will give you more time to find a good deal on a wagon.

Scored a 0, but the test seems pretty lame.

I scored a 99, "You are probably not suffering from a great deal of stress." I do pride myself on being laid back as much as possible, but still minor factors like money not being where I'd like it (at pre 2009 levels), and very much wanting to go back to school but phobic of being in debt keep me up a little sometimes at night. I just need to change things up instead of dwelling on them.
