Chronic Stress Test: What It Measures and How to Read Your Score
Chronic stress sets in when the demands of your environment durably exceed your coping resources. Unlike acute stress, it accumulates insidiously and gradually affects your physical and mental health. This test assesses four essential dimensions: mental overload, physical tension, exhaustion and irritability. The results will let you measure the impact of prolonged stress on your daily life.
In the article that follows, I explore anxiety and chronic worry. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a generalized anxiety test that helps you take stock of your everyday anxiety level. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results.
What the test measures
- Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities and demands.
- Bodily manifestations of prolonged stress.
- Deep fatigue and loss of energy linked to chronic stress.
