Stress

What is stress?



Is it a self-planted feeling that you put in place when you see others freaking out?

Is it the desperation to break down because you can't meet the deadline?

Is it the sort of feeling where the whole world seems to not understand you, and that you're left on your own to deal with everything?

Is it the period of time for you to turn anorexic?

Is it the time to roll your eyes at every low-class peasant, and punch the high class bimbos?

or is it...
