Hello, My name is Patrick, 19 years old and I would like to ask, what is considered as long term in regards stress? I see everywhere long term stress causes those and those health problems , but what is meant by long term ? One week? A month? A few years? I have been in a pretty intense stress for like 2 months. The original stressors are already gone, but now I am stressing out whether the 2 months of stress don t cause me a stroke or a heart attack in the near future. I am pretty paranoic about this (I hope so). Thank you for reading this.
