Today, in my psychology class, we were given a sheet that had a list of stressful events and we were to select the ones we had experienced in the last 12 months. I got highest in my class of above an 80% chance of getting a life threatening illness due to stress. Everyone laughed. FML

Do you know how curious I am now? As I too am from Coventry and did this experiment in my psychology class today. I wonder if it was the same class...? Interesting. But if it was the same class, you'll know that one of the main flaws if this experiment is that it fails to take individual differences into account. Plus, it ignores the good things in people's lives, that help to counter balance stress. So really, you don't need to worry about it at all!

Holmes and rahe is not an accurate representation of the amount of stress in a persons life, only the potential for stress. there is another test which is much more useful that measures hassles and uplifts

Hey, we did that in my psych class too. I was one out of two which got the lowest score, most people got above 80% on that test in my class.

Yes, let's all laugh at someone who suffers with extreme levels of stress. Your classmates are assholes.
