Stress is how we react when we feel under pressure or threatened. It typically arises when we find ourselves in circumstances that we perceive as beyond our ability to manage or control. Of course, there are cases when this stress level is negotiable and we think that the situation is under our control, and this eustress has a facilitator mode. However, if the stressor is too intensive or our capabilities are not enough to control or fight with the situation then we can label it as distress. Generally, we can say that long-lasting or intensive stress can have serious impacts on our lives.
