    Is this a mental health test?

    No. It's a light quiz about everyday stress habits, not a screening or a diagnosis. If you're worried about your mental health, talk to a doctor or a qualified professional.

    What are quick ways to calm down when stressed?

    Many people find these help in the moment: slow breathing with a longer out-breath, a short walk, grounding with your senses (name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, and so on), or writing the worry down with one next step.

    Why do I feel more stressed at night?

    At night there are fewer distractions, so worries get louder, and tiredness makes everything feel bigger. A wind-down hour, writing a worry list before bed and keeping your phone out of the bedroom help many people. If sleep problems last for weeks, see a doctor.
