Stress Factors

............. guess what?
after i studied sooooooo much for the exam the prof decided to select only like 2 chapters out of 8 chapters and the exam paper only comsists of TWO frigging questions. yeah. i thought i were seeing wrongly, and i re-read the whole paper again. anws, it's just a piece of exam paper, so yeah.. i couldnt be wrong about it! TSK. (but the paper was easy la.... heh...)

anw, rmb i said i will share my prof's website here? unfortunately... the website i copied down is wrong. thn i tried googling it but i just cant find it. oh well.... mayb i'll ask from my frens to see if they copied it down too. if not.. thn just forget it la.

however, i got 1 website here tt's quite interesting. it's inside my textbook and it helps to calculate your stress score in regards to your stress level. Want to know how stress you are and how it affects ur health conidtion? Check this out to determine your stress levels! http://www.stresstips.com/lifeevents.htm

the last time in lectures i calculated mine with a longer lists of stress events than e website provides given by our prof.. and my test scores are 400 and over, which means my life is undergoing a major transition and i'm feeling stressed out over it. mind you, that score is the highest and most severe one that leads to stress-related disorders which are very problematic. OMG... mayb tt explains why i'm getting skinnier?

this time i calculated my stress scores at this above website and i got a completely opposing results:

Your score is 102
According to the Holmes & Rahe* statistical prediction model your score means a relatively low amount of life change and a low susceptability (about 30% probability) to stress-related illness. However please keep in mind that there are many variables that interact on health including positive factors such as support from family, friends or work associates.

GEE. mayb it's cos the lists are not long enough? cos i feel that in each individual's life there are so many and different life events that is possible to affect the stress level. anws, i feel that this is just a rough gauge of your stress scores. so ppl, take care and be optimistic to the stress events and learn some strategies to cope with your stress! i should try to do tt too!
