Stress can come from many different factors.
Sometime it can be more stressful because you are stressed by a few things at the same time.
Sometime the stress can come in waves, one after another, one on top of another.
They can be a big distraction, temptation and trigger.
It just made the pain, hardship and suffering worst.
People are quick to judge, criticize, ridicule and sentence a person.

If I have known that I have make a mistake and are heading in the wrong direction
I must make a U-turn back and change my ways.
If I allow the mistake to stay and continue in the wrong direction, I have not repented.
I am not sure. Look like I have not fully recovered from depression after more than 30 years.
