The story of Chris
Chris sits next to you in your business math
class. He is always friendly and seems to get
along with everybody.
One thing you notice is that on a day of a test
Chris always seems very anxious and distressed.
He tells you that he studies hard, but he always
seems to get back grades on tests. After the
test is over, I remember these stupid mistakes. I
know the stuff, but I just cant show it on
tests.

The story of Sally
Sally is a sophomore going into Business
Management. She has done well in her classes and
continues to be a good student.
Lately, she has talked to you and many of her
friends about the break-up of a long-term
relationship with a guy from her hometown. She
talked to you about knowing that it was a bad
relationship, but she cant stand thinking that
it is over.
You notice that she seems to have lost a lot of
confidence and she is saying a number of things
that are very self-critical.

The story of David
David has struggled with making decisions as long
as he could remember. Now he has to choose a
major. The trouble is he likes a lot of things
and has no idea what he wants to do for a career.
He has heard the stories about people changing
careers three or four times, but he does not want
to be one of those people. He wants to make the
right decision--now.
David doesnt get how some of his friends can
make decisions so easily. Even choosing a DVD or
what to eat at a restaurant can be a chore for
David.

Zeke was an achiever, an A Student, and strived
for being and doing the best. He liked being

he started to lose sleep. He worried more and
paid less attention to taking care of himself. He
responded to the pressure by working harder and
accomplishing less.
Anxiety
Motivation collapsed, he felt guilty, he couldnt
sleep at all then he would sleep too much. He
started to lose interest in activities that used
to give him pleasure. He started to believe that
things werent going to change.

since coming to college in the Fall. She sleeps
less, eats more, and is less active than she was
in high school.

but she can tell that she feels more run down and
stressed than she used to. She also notices that
she has gained some weight.
Up until now, she hasnt thought much about what
it means to live a healthy lifestyle.
