There are two main kinds of stress: eustress (good stress) and distress (bad stress).
Eustress is the kind that helps you do better — it makes you feel excited or pumped up before a game or test and helps you focus. Distress is the kind that makes you feel worried, very tired, or sick when it goes on too long and makes it hard to think or sleep.
Examples of eustress:
- Feeling nervous but ready before a big game or school play.
- A little worry that makes you study for a test.
- Excitement about starting a new hobby or trip.
Examples of distress:
- Too much homework for a long time that makes you feel overwhelmed.
- Being bullied or having family problems that make you anxious every day.
- Losing sleep and feeling sick because you worry all the time.
