Stress Load and Recovery Test
Ten questions about how stress has settled into your body and your days over the past 30 days, and whether rest has managed to rebuild anything. It takes about 4 minutes to complete.
Instructions
This questionnaire does not ask how stressful your life is. It asks about something checkable: what stress leaves behind in your body, your sleep, your concentration and your relationships — and whether rest is keeping up with the load.
Answer ten questions, thinking about the past 30 days. You can take the result to a conversation with a psychologist.
Important: This is a self-reflection tool developed by HelpClinic, not a diagnostic test. Physical symptoms are also worth discussing with a doctor — many of them have causes other than stress.

Instrument and source information
HelpClinic Stress Load & Recovery Check (ten original items) · HelpClinic
This is a self-reflection tool developed by HelpClinic. It is for information only and does not replace a professional diagnosis. It is not a validated psychometric questionnaire, and the boundaries between score levels are not clinical thresholds. Symptoms such as a racing heart, headaches or persistent fatigue can have medical causes — it is worth discussing them with a doctor. If tension persists despite rest, talk to a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Common questions
Can this questionnaire diagnose a condition?
No. It is a snapshot based on how you report feeling at this time. It cannot confirm or rule out a condition.
Do I need an email, and how long is my result kept?
No. You can see your result without an account or email. Email is optional, for one requested report. The waitlist has a separate checkbox, unchecked by default. Private access lasts 30 days. Expired results are deleted from the active database within one day of expiry. Backups have separate retention periods described in the privacy policy.
What can I do next?
Choose a small step that suits you. If you are worried, speak with a qualified professional regardless of your score. Related questionnaires are optional and do not provide diagnoses.
