STRESS is everywhere

I found it unbelievably easy to get stressed from even a very tiny little disturbance.
not sure whether i should find comfort from learning the fact that I'm not the only one who feels vulnerable about being stressed.
been learning small tactics to relieve stress. hopefully to have some progress soon.
below is a quote about 'stress' from a book, The Dangerous Rise of Therapeutic Education.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The term 'stress' is so widely used that it has no meaning outside engineering and there is a free for all in attempts to define it. The concept is free floating and is now routinely applied to anything that people feel is unpleasant, or unwelcome. (Patmore 2006; Wainwright and Caplan 2002).

In Patmore's account of what people call 'stress', by far the biggest group of states or attitudes in her list refer directly to people's 'feeling'. The list could be doubled by adding less direct mentions of emotion:

Feelings

feeling abandoned; feeling appalled; feeling brow-beaten; feeling crestfallen; feeling cut up; feeling demeaned; feeling disheartened; feeling disrespected; feeling downtrodden; feeling driven; feeling frantic; feeling hell-bent; feeling ill-used; feeling insulted; feeling neglected; feeling nerve-racked; feeling overwhelmed; feeling overwrought; feeling paralysed; feeling petrified; feeling rattled; feeling scorned; feeling sickened; feeling stricken; feeling stunned; feeling suicidal; feeling tainted; feeling threatened; feeling thwarted; feeling trigger-happy; feeling troubled; feeling unlucky; feeling unmanned; feeling unnerved; feeling useless; feeling victimised; feeling worthless; feeling wounded

(Thirty-eight of 277 'internal' states and conditions to which the term 'stress' has been applied: Angela Patmore, The Truth About Stress, 2006: 392)
