What causes stress?
Moving causes stress – especially when the moving date has changed and you are not prepared as you believe you have more time to pack everything.
It is stressful looking for a house to move into.
A job can be stressful – especially one that lays on the pressure for an academic advisor to reach the unreasonable goal of ten starts each month. How can an academic advisor seriously be accountable for a student changing his or her mind? Especially when the referrals given come from people who were searching for jobs and filled out a school interest on accident as they believed it was a part of the job application?
Stress is trying to fill out a job application online or take a test for school when the Wi-Fi seems to have troubles staying connected. The very words “Blackboard Collaboration” give me stress.
Stress is dealing with unreliable transportation. Perhaps you were in an accident or you need a transmission and finances are tight. You take public transportation but get stuck waiting for the bus that doesn’t arrive on time because it’s been rerouted.
Bomb threats, fire drills, lockdowns. Trying to believe it isn’t real but just a routine. But what if it’s not?
Finances.
Stress is dealing with a parent who used to have an active mind have distorted memories and her reality is quite different from your own.
It is also stressful to have another parent who needs 24/7 care and sleeps while you’re awake and vice-versa. You become stressed because you feel weak because you have lost sleep with worry.
It is stressful to watch your children make poor choices and live soap opera lives. It hurts when you don’t even know them.

I can also stress something that I feel is important. To stress something is very different than to feel stress or be stressed.
