"I'm able to leave my work at work. My hobby is baking and is a stress reliever. Bringing cupcakes in the next day to work seems to lighten the mood at work as well."

Everyone experiences stress but how you deal with it is another thing. Be sure not to get spun up and go off on a tangent about a stressful situation but answer calmly with a few techniques you use to de-stress. Do you go to the gym? Go on walks? Spend time with your family? Go to church? Whatever the release, own it as it is YOUR way of managing work stress. Steer clear of any mention that you meet with a medical professional or manage daily with medication.
