    There’s also the possibility that the definition of stress differs. I’m in an IT position where I control most of my schedule and pace of work, I work at home without much supervision, and I’m very much a trusted employee. That means I have less body stress and other stresses than a large amount of people, but at the end of the day my mental stress can still give me headaches and wear me out (and of course real life stresses. I’m paid pretty well for the company I work at, but it’s still kinda low to be supporting myself and a family member still trying to find employment).
