A measuring instrument for stress

When the load tips over, what do you reach for?

Source is where stress enters. Processing is what your system does with it. This one is about the doing — the move you make when the load finally outruns your capacity. Solve, ask, lean on someone, set a limit, push harder, go quiet, smooth it over, numb out, take over. A short set of honest either-it's-true-or-it-isn't questions, and I'll name what you tend to reach for — then what helps, and what quietly costs you.
