There are several risks of stress. In the concept of allostatic load, the stress," involved interacting repeatedly to intense stressors produce wear and tear on body systems that accumulate over time and lead to illness" (Sarafino, 2017).Stress can cause physical symptoms including cardiovascular illness, endocrine reactive illness, and Immune system illness. Stress can also put one at risk of headaches, asthma, arthritis, and skin disorders such as eczema, psoriosis, and hives. Stress may also put you at higher risk of getting cancer (Sarafino, 2017). Mentally, stress can get bad enough to cause depression. In one study, 13% of college students have been diagnosed with depression or anxiety linked to stress.

When it comes to biological stress responses in the short-term, when one undergoes a stress event they may experience fast heart rate, faster breathing, and a cease in digestion and urine output. This is because or acute responses release hormones to our body that stop the less critical activities of our body and sends all the energy to our critical activities like our heart and lungs for the moment. However, if these acute responses repeatedly occur, then they can cause maladaptive changes in our body and cause chronic responses which lead to long term effects such as cardiovascular disease, asthma, and other immune disorders (Ironson, Schneiderman, Siegel, 2005).
The biological factors then can have an effect on the psychosocial factors of stress due to the "nature, number, and persistence of the stressor, as well as by the persons biological vulnerability, and the learned patterns of coping" (Schneiderman, Siegal, 2005).

My stress usually comes from the combination of school work, maintaining a job, and a social life. Doing school full-time and having a full time job can cause a lot of un wanted stress. The Mental Health America Organization says that students should work a maximum of 10-15 hours a week. Working this many hours a week can help students manage in class activities along with enough time for homework in order to get the needed grades to pass.

From going to church to talking to a family member, these things can help release stress. Reading the Bible and finding an encouraging verse to get you through the day can help you get through stress or even contacting your church to see if their are groups available that focus on what you need help with the most. Having family support is also a very good way to deal with stress. Talking it out with someone you trust can help release those hormones that cause stress and replace them with pleasure hormones. You can also talk to a school counselor, teacher, or friend. There are so many resources available to prevent stress from becoming chronic in your life. Another efficient way to deal with stress is signing up at a local gym, getting involved in community activities, or visiting your primary care physician.

Getting help when in stressful situations is difficult, but it helps! Once you can acknowledge your stress and the severity of it, getting help will not be so difficult. Knowing what your stressors are and how to cope with them will lead you to a healthier and less stressful life.  It will remind you to take a step back, breathe, and when you need it, reach out to those around you or a professional in order to reduce your stress symptoms.

In the Psycom stress test, it asks 8 questions about the symptoms of stress a person may experience, and the ways in which you cope with stress experiences. My results explained that I have a "Mild Indication of High Stress".

In the second test I took on the livewellsiouxfalls.org stress test, it asks 23 question based on stressful situations and how one copes with these situations. One grades their stress on a scale of 0-5 and 0-10. My results came out to a score of 55 which means that I do not cope well with stress and I am in the "Stress Zone".
