I'm a loving pussy-cat really ![]() Useful suggestions, though my colleague - peering over my shoulder - has just pointed out that for a Stress Index, it's only natural to have more degrees on the negative scale. I mean, it's not Joy index is it? Perhaps I was just venting .... |

You mean stress induced by feeling of euphoria/cheerfulness? Does such a thing exist?

Wouldn't 'positive stress' be excitement?

Well, I have to say that I'd never heard of "Eustress" before. I feel it's not going to be an active word in my vocabulary, but I understand the distinction. I like "excitement" better though ![]() |

But it's interesting though (at least I think so) that someone thought that "stress" could be divided into two sub-categories, distress, and, to use your word, exctitement. Fits for me, too. But no, I'd never heard of eustress before, I just thought that there could (and should) be a positive application of it.

My stress level was 1 until that ear-grating 'eustress' pseudo-word reared its ugly head. Oxygen saturation 99% Peak flow 480l/min Patients waiting 2, neither of them past their appointment time |

Eustress sounds to my ear a lot like Useless. Dunno about my level of stress, but I'm certainly irked. One of my favourite words, incidentally... |
