It was certainly a stressful day for a lot of people.

So I thought I should do an English lesson about stress.

You can also use the same two expressions

to be specific about what you're stressed about.

"I'm stressed because I have a test tomorrow."

meaning exactly the same thing and you can use them

to talk specifically about what you're stressed about.

If there are situations in life that happen routinely,

Or, "I get stressed when my boss gives me too much work."

I get stressed when I don't have enough time

things that happen regularly or routinely,

things that give you stress, we usually say stressed out,

You would say, "My cousin stresses me out."

I hope your English class isn't stressful, but if it is,

If you feel stress when you go to your English class,

you would say, "My English class is stressful."
