Thanks Juanita, Now I can tell my doc - look, it's not all in my head, I scored in the critical range. Lucky me :rolleyes:


Me Too. Critical here


Critical. But I knew that. The key, at least for me, is not avoiding stress, (hey, I like to achieve, what can I say) but managing it. yoga, baths, friends, breathing, creativity working out etc. These tests are short sighted, IMHO, they don't look at enough factors.


I reached high....i had a feeling i have been a little to stressed latly, you can always tell from how ur P is acting.


This is a POLL-thread I started a long long time ago regarding stress.
Please read the first post, take the poll, and post a comment if you like.

Juanita,
Hi, I tried that stress test too and came out as high. It was interesting. Thanks,
Sandy


Critical!!! But my P is under control. Actually, I'm clear. Go figure!!

I get stressed from my job! I think that's to be expected though!


i had a 65. im critical. im near burn out. can i take a retest.lol


that stress test was created to sell their products at the end
im surprised nobody noticed that :cool:


My score was 45 which was high....not critical. Yes, it was to sell their products I imagine but just taking the test makes one aware and to perhaps take steps to reduce this stress. Some areas can be worked on.

But I know that I am under stress all the time, it's just my nature. My job, behavior, etc... I'm taking buspar and wellbutrin for it and it helps a lot. I still have a lot of stress but I don't worry much about things anymore like I used to. Worrying about stuff, often, is useless and counterproductive.
Stress is a big factor in psoriasis in my opinion. Anything we can do to manage or reduce the stress is helpful.


Critical ... but then I knew that intuitively! :rolleyes:


...wonder if there is a common thread that people with psoriasis have personalities who stress out more...
I know I stress and internalize it too much. Am working to improve this but it is something to always work at.


1 Attachment(s) High,,,37,,,,and you wonder why I laugh so much............. that reduces the stress........ :D :D
