Pre-Assessment
Directions: Answer the following questions below using the using the provided spaces.

1. Cite five (5) causes of stress based on your personal experiences


 Balancing the demands of my family and responsibilities in school works
 Health illness
 Financial burden
 Unstable internet connection and gadget technical issues during online
classes or making assignments
 Over thinking
2. Based on your experience, how did you handle and mange stress?

When I’m in a tough situation, I like to take a pause and reflect on what I’m doing,
prepare, and prioritize. For example, if I am working on multiple academic
assignments at the same time, I become more time-efficient. I divide large tasks
into smaller, more specific activities, determining which ones take the most time,
which I can complete quickly, and which have the shortest deadlines. After that, it
becomes more manageable and less stressful.
3. What can you say and advise to those people who were not able to control
negative maneuver of committing suicide?
I always look for the advantages in every situation to help me deal with stress.
Rather than going away on what I didn't accomplish that day, I focus on how far
I've come in other areas. Also, pray to our Almighty God and discuss your issue
with him. Without the assistance of our God, we cannot solve our problems in this
world. He opened our hearts and minds to the possibility of finding a solution to
our stress.

1. What are the common reactions do you experience during stressful situations?

anger, even over minor things. I occasionally experience anxiety attacks as a
result of overthinking how I will get through the day, as well as exhaustion that
does not improve with sleep.

I have two types of personalities: Melancholic and Choleric. The primary


temperament requirement is the ability to complete tasks correctly. The
secondary requirement is to obtain results. Because I am a specifics person who
pushes for results, I have a Melancholy-Choleric temperament. I have a strong
desire to inform others about what they know and what they should do. I have a
strong urge to share what I’ve discovered and accomplished with others. I want to
do things correctly and get results, but I also want to figure out what is correct.
I’m more assertive and direct, and I adhere to self-imposed, stringent rules in
both my personal and work life. I’m not a very social butterfly, and I find it difficult
to maintain good relations with others. I have high expectations of myself and
others. Whenever it tends to come to some stuff, I’m also a neat freak. Because I
need to obtain the necessary information before deciding on the best course of
action, I learn to make decisions slowly.
