What is the difference between stress and emotional pain?
Trauma is stress run amuck. Stress dis-regulates our nervous systems - but for only a relatively short period of time. Within a few days or weeks, our nervous systems calm down and we revert to a normal state of equilibrium. This return to normalcy is not the case when we have been traumatized. One way to tell the difference between stress and emotional trauma is by looking at the outcome - how much residual effect an upsetting event is having on our lives, relationships, and overall functioning. Traumatic distress can be distinguished from routine stress by assessing the following:
• how quickly upset is triggered
• how frequently upset is triggered
• how intensely threatening the source of upset is
• how long upset lasts
• how long it takes to calm down
If we can communicate our distress to people who care about us and can respond adequately, and if we return to a state of equilibrium following a stressful event, we are in the realm of stress. If we become frozen in a state of active emotional intensity, we are experiencing an emotional trauma - even though sometimes we may not be consciously aware of the level of distress we are experiencing

Stress can be physical, but it may also be related directly to emotional pain, in fact, can help cause it. Mental stress: worry, depression, etc., all contribute. Emotional pain, such as loss of a friend, death of a pet, whatever, can also contribute to stress, so the two are sort of two sides of the same coin.

Simply put emotional pain is is issues that you are dealing with that there really isnt anything you can do about them, stress is the opposite, stress can be dealt with through the appropriate processes
For example i am having some issues with a romantic issue, which i cant do anything about as it is just there, i dont know why its there it just is.
yet i am also stressed as i am having some issues regarding my work,also my husbands, they are things that can be dealt with easily through communication and understanding.......they then in turn will be dealt with....are you catching my meaning?????

Both are brought on buy women! Both are the same in ways...Stress gives you gray hairs, high blood pressure and can kill you in the long run! Emotional pain, hurts the heart, adds stress, kills your confidants!
All are brought on by women! So, stay single and live longer!!!
