Self-disclosure: "in therapy is when a therapist shares their own personal views or experience with a client with the purpose of improving the client's emotional or mental state." (LaFrisco, 2014)

This can help the client feel that they aren't the only one experiencing this feeling. It shows them another point of view of their situation. This can help them have a better understanding of their situation.

Having a good support system is crucial for people dealing with stress. A family member, friends, counselors,peers, or therapy are all great options of support. It has to be someone that has the same goals for you and want to see you achieve your goals (Schneiderman, Ironson,& Siegel, 2005).

For myself when I am stressed I relay on family to help me get though it. Having open communication with my family really helps me manage my stress.

There are many risks of stress, if not managed correctly.

# data[].attributes.body
FRESH AIR!
I try and go for a walk 1-2 times a day! The fresh air and psychical activity helps me clear my mind.

OPEN DIALOG
Communication is key to helping get through stressful situations. I talk to my husband about everything. Bottling up emotions is not healthy for anyone.

TIME MANAGEMENT
I feel stressed when I try and cram a lot of things into one day. The way I deal with this is routines and lists. I make a list of everything I want to get done that day. I have a routine for cleaning my house so I do not try and do it all in one day or avoid areas in the house.

Family, school,and finances.

FAMILY:
I am a mother of 2 toddlers and a wife of a police officer. I try to balance mom, teacher, supporter, provider, cleaner, counselor, and cook in my daily routine. It is hard to find enough hours in a day to get everything done.

SCHOOL:
By time time I am done taking care of my family; I need to find time for school work. It is stressful if my children had a rough day and I am so exhausted I can't even think about school work, or if they have trouble sleeping and I don't get my work done.

FINANCES:
Since COVID 19 has been going on, I recently quit my job, because I do not want to but my children back in daycare. This has become very stressful! We are now living off of one paycheck. It takes a lot of adjusting because it is not our norm, as a family.

My results indicated i have mind indication of an anxiety disorder.

Taking that quiz gave me anxiety when answer the questions honestly. I never thought I had any kind of anxiety until answering some of the questions in that quiz.

I have repetitive behaviors, that I never related to anxiety until today. Such as checking to see if the door is locked before bedtime a few times.

Most of the questions where about my mood and social surroundings.
