Abstract: Stress is essentially humans' response to various types of desires or threats. This response, when working properly, can help us to stay focussed, energized and intellectually active; but if it is out of proportion, it can certainly be harmful leading to depression, anxiety, hypertension and a host of threatening disorders. Cyberspace is a huge soap box for people to post anything and everything that they experience in their day-to-day lives. Subsequently, it can be used as a very effective tool in determining the stress levels of an individual based on the posts and status updates shared by him/her. This is a proposal for a website which takes the Twitter username of the subject as an input, scans and analyses the subject's profile by performing Sentiment Analysis and gives out results. These results suggest the overall stress levels of the subject and give an overview of his/her mental and emotional state. The tool used for analysis of the social media account is Rapidminer. Rapidminer is an environment for various data mining and machine learning procedures with a very effective and simple GUI.[1]
