Crisis
Intensely difficult, sometimes unexpected, emotions or situations where coping is challenging. A crisis could result in disruption in effective functioning or a possible/actual threat to self or others (i.e. “I give up. I see no purpose or point. I don’t care anymore. I just want the pain to stop.”)
Distress
Excessively challenging feelings OR acutely intense feelings in the moment, i.e. “No one at school likes me. They bully me. I will never fit in or have friends.” Or “I’m so angry right now I could hit someone.”
Stress
Unsettling feelings in response to challenges that require your attention, i.e. “I am feeling really stressed out because I have a big project due tomorrow.”
