However, bad stress often linked to what we commonly known as chronic, extreme or prolonged stress can harm ourselves and suffer physically, emotionally & mentally. Severe stress may able us to cope with substance abuse or other toxic means of dealing with. It may even crossed the line towards depression, burnout, anxiety and thoughts of suicide.
