What Your Score Says...People in this range are having serious struggles managing their stress. In this range, stress-related illnesses are occurring, although sometimes not equated to stress (cold sores, headaches, stomach pains, lack of appetite, acne, rashes, etc.). Based on your responses the stress triggers pile up throughout the day and you find yourself unable to relax at home. Sleep escapes you because you are constantly thinking about what you did and didn't do and said and didn't say. This makes it difficult to concentrate and focus on tasks so you find yourself doing double the amount of effort to complete a simple step. Being a leader of a team, even in the broadest terms, might be more effort than it's worth. Getting yourself motivated to be proactive with healthy habits is tough. Thoughts of doubt and a lack of luster for life pop in and out of your mind. With a score in this range you have a chance of reaching your stress threshold soon if you don't do something quickly.
