According to the Holmes Rache Inventory, I received a score of 174 which places me in the category of people who have a 50% of having a mental breakdown in the next 2 years. This clearly shows that I am considered quite a stressful person which I can agree with.  I stress about things quite easily and sometimes stress about the smallest things I shouldn’t. The biggest stress I have come across in my life is the death of two of my close family members which have had a huge affect on me and my family. I think because the death of a close family member has such a high rating, that this is why my score is so high, along with other things. The things I usually stress about the most is university work and also being on time for events etc and keeping up to date with work that needs to be completed. I try to combat this stress by talking to people, especially my mum, because she calms me down and helps me in any way she can. I also like tidying up when I am stressed because a clean and clear environment allows me to work as well as I can.
