There is stress that ends another stressor.
If you are permant stressing about your job, your life your mortage and you boulder for the first time, you might eperience mortal fear, from falling. Which makes the other stressors less substantial, thus "deactivating" or back-queuing them. After the fear for your life, the stress bodily reflex does not return usually in full force.
You relax. One good "short" stress ended alot of bad stress. There is no good stressor that is permanent.
PS: Thanks to the prof at college teaching us about this. Stress is pure poison, inlcuding flooding your body with cortisols and supressing disease symptoms.

Resulting in the ilusion, that stress keeps you healthy. Meanwhile disease eats you alive and re-appears once you are a wreck.
If you regularly experience stress episodes for months and years, you might as well be a living corpse.
- Spivak 4y agoI don't really think this is a disagreement. "Sometimes you have to do something that's bad for you to keep something worse from happening." That's just called harm reduction. The stress is still bad but short term stress that ends long term stress can be a good trade when you don't have any other option.
- winReInstall 4y agoYes, the correct response would be a behavioural adjusting of "not giving a damn" but our economic system discourages this, encouraging instead a play pretend of "unstressed" or meditate it away, aka learn to control your stress response system. Or we could mass give out calming substances like weed or alcohol, but now we get to were we actually categorize permanent stress correctly. Its a mass applied substance problem, used to extract value from people.
