Stress is a feeling, but not really an emotion in its own right. Instead, it seems to be a common aspect of many different emotions, including frustration, anger, worry, fear, sadness and even despair.
Keep Stress Under Control
The most helpful method of dealing with stress is learning how to manage the stress that comes along with any new challenge, good or bad.
