    Write about your stress signals and Answer the following questions:

    1. How do you know that you are stressed?

    When I'm easily annoyed, frustrated, or grumpy, I know I'm stressed. I have a hard time
    relaxing and quieting my mind. I know I’m stressed when I overthink a lot, especially at night
    which causes me to have insomnia.

    2. What stress signals do you have?

    The most common stress signals that I have is nail biting, inability to sleep whilst having
    constant fatigue, back pain, irritability, and lack or concentration.

    3. How much stress do you think you are currently under?

    I think I’m currently under a lot of stress. My stress usually comes from different school
    works. Some teachers tend to give too many assignments (even too many problems in one
    assignment tab) whilst not giving enough discussions and not enough time for us to submit. We,
    sometimes, don’t get a lot of time to catch a break for ourselves. We even stay up the whole
    night before the due date of the assignments in order for us to comply and that just hurts our
    physical and mental health.
    4. How are your stress signals different for different types of stressors?

    I usually get headaches, back pain and confusion from too much homework and math
    class. I also experience irritability whenever I am interrupted while I’m very busy and when
    around loud people. I also suffer from anxiety whenever there’s no transportation and I need to
    get to a place fast, and also when I lose something valuable.

    5. What are some ways that you usually remove or reduce the stress that cause you
    physical, emotional or behavioral difficulties?

    To reduce my stress whenever I do have some, I usually withdraw from the situation and
    breath a little bit, alone. Then I do other things that doesn’t involve anything that links to
    whatever I was stressed about.
