Stress arising from suppression of physical or sexual desires and insufficient consideration for bodily needs Psychological interpretation: The existing situation is disagreeable. You have an unsatisfied need to ally yourself with others whose standards are as high as your own, and to stand out from the common herd. The control of your sensual instincts restricts your ability to give yourself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and to allow yourself to merge with another. This disturbs you, as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; you feel that only continued self-restraint can you hope to maintain your attitude of individual superiority. You want to be loved or admired for yourself alone; you need attention, recognition and the esteem of others In brief: You demand esteem as an exceptional individual.
Blimey!!

You are suffering from the effects of those things which are being rejected as disagreeable and you are strongly resisting them. You just want to be left in peace.
My stress source:
You are working to improve your image in the eyes of others in order to obtain their compliance and agreement with your needs and wishes.
My restrained characteristics:
You are willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction from sexual activity. (BLIMEY)
My desired objective:
Stresses resulting from disappointment have led to agitation and anxiety. Psychological interpretation: Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. You feel that you have a right to anything you might hope for, and become helpless and distressed when circumstances go against you. You find the mere possibility of failure more upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. You see yourself as a "victim" who has been misled and abused, you mistake this dramatisation for reality, and try to convince yourself that your failure to achieve standing recognition is the fault of others. In brief: Unrealistic self-justification.
My actual problem:
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, emptiness and an unadmitted self-contempt. Your refusal to admit this leads to you adopting a head-strong and defiant attitude.
(in short: I am a nihilist!)

Stress: Insecure. You seek roots, stability, emotional security and an environment providing greater ease and fewer problems.
Restrained: Circumstances are forcing you to compromise, to restrain your demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things you want."
Objective stayed blank
Problem: "Anxiety and a restless dissatisfaction, either with circumstances or with unfulfilled emotional needs, have produced stress. You try to escape into an idealised atmosphere of sympathy and understanding, or into a substitute environment of aestheticism and beauty."
It's mostly pretty true, except I think the last sentence of the first section is way off, and some of it (paras 2 and 3) apply to most people.
Anyway, very pretty coloured moons.
