How often do you feel stressed, and when does normal anxiety become a problem?

[Amy10223]

When does it become a problem for you?
Also, on a scale from 1-10, what is your daily stress level?
I get anxious when something coming up might be problematic. I’ve had a lot of stress since mid March. A tile from the condo where I live fell on my car that I got last year. A week later big hail fell on it. I had to file 2 separate claims, paying a deductible for each. I can’t get the work done because I’m leaving on a trip this week. I had to switch one of the insurance representatives because twice she told me wrong information and then gaslighted me when I asked, ( one was giving me the wrong date the rep would come see the car) and was rude. I’m worried about TSA lines for the trip. So my stress level is about a 7 or 8 now.
I know it’s better for me to try and relax, and let things run their course, but it’s tough.

High anxiety levels are extremely rare for me, I can probably jumpy to 7/10 on occasion, a few days per year. Otherwise it's rather 0 or 1 unless I'm in some kind of bad sequence of events.

I think abnormal anxiety is any anxiety that prevents you from living a normal life, I define a normal life as a life where you're having people to like or love, activities you enjoy doing, and things in life to desire.

normal stress is just there... but that's life, I would consider those lower than a four

so for me to really "feel stressed" it has to be an 8 of more, fortunately... that doesn't happen quite often

as for "normal anxiety" I would need a bit more detail of what you consider to be "normal anxiety" versus "this ain't normal now" lmao...

It is very rare. I am good at staying cool under pressure.

Not very often.

I've been at a 9 for most of my life, with my anxiety levels of the past two years being off the scale.

Mine have been high also lately. Especially with what’s going on here.

I used to have a pretty hectic lifestyle. Married with a child, and a very busy work-life etc. These days I've really simplified my existence. I'm a minimalist, and I try to life as stress-free as possible.

*live life as stress-free as possible.

Stress comes and goes, my anxieties are built in. I try to mage and hide them the best I can.

Around the times I pay bills.
