More than a quarter of U.S. adults say they're so stressed they can't function (Latinas and LGBTQIA+ most affected)
Medical Xpress / American Psychological Ass. / The Harris Poll 2022 Stress in America™ survey ^ | Oct. 19, 2022 | Arthur C. Evans Jr., Ph.D. / The Harris Poll

Americans are struggling with multiple external stressors that are out of their personal control, with 27% reporting that most days they are so stressed they cannot function, according to a poll.

The nationwide survey revealed that 70% of adults reported they do not think people in the government care about them, and 64% said they felt their rights are under attack. More than a third (38%) said the state of the nation has made them consider moving to a different country.

Various disparities in stressors emerged among population subgroups. For example, 72% of the members of the LGBTQIA+ community reported feeling as if their rights are under attack, which is a higher proportion than non-LGBTQIA+ adults (64%). Younger adult women (ages 18 to 34) were more likely to report that most days their stress is completely overwhelming, in comparison with older women (62% vs. 48% 35-44; 27% 45-64; 9% 65+) and men ages 35 or older (62% vs. 48% 35-44; 21% 45-64; 8% 65+). Seventy-five percent of Black adults said that the racial climate in the U.S. is a significant source of stress, while 70% of Latino/a adults, 69% of Asian adults and 56% of white adults reported the same.

Furthermore, Latinas were most likely to cite significant sources of stress related to violence among racial/ethnic groups, including violence and crime (89% Latinas; 80% Black women; 79% Asian women; 77% Latinos; 75% Black men; 73% white women; 72% white men; 70% Asian men), mass shootings (89% Latinas; 78% Latinos; 77% Black women; 77% Asian women; 73% white women; 71% Black men; 67% Asian men; 66% white men) and gun violence (87% Latinas; 83% Black women; 77% Asian women; 76% Latinos; 75% Black men; 69% white women; 68% white men; 63% Asian men).

“You think you got problems? Hah! That’s nothing.
Wait till you hear what’s been happening to me, and by what means. It’s enough to gag a maggot! Sit down, It’ll knock your socks off. I’ll tell you the entire horrible story.”

Couldn’t we just provide drugs for them to handle their stress, and mask their unhappiness? Drugs like....fentanyl or LSD?

First I’m not latinas or whatever but I’m stressed like crazy. I’ve been fishing for four days in a row. Now climate change is going to kick my azz. It going to drop from the mid 70’s to the mid 40’s. The approaching winter will suck for beer swilling and worm drowning. Mother Nature hates me. /s

First off, what the intercourse does LGBTQIA stand for lately? Seems it changes periodically. I can get a grip on lesbian, gay and bi-sexual but I'm quessing the rest. Trans-sexual, queer, infected and anal.

But if LGB stand for the same thing why in hell couldn't the simple word faggot cover the damn thing and KISS? (keep it simple stupid)

ME!!!! STRESSED!!!! Hell no. I read Mad magazine and the Inquirer to keep up to the Kardashians.

“Snowflakes are easily stressed....”.

Pretty soon the Snowflakes are going to melt from the stress. They won’t be able to cope with what’s coming.

I think their concern is that they realize America is at the tipping point to becoming another third world country like Venezuela.

Trump brought us back from the abyss… Biden took us beyond anyone’s wildest expectations that could be done to destroy this country in just two years.

LSD will just make them more whacked

I wish. I wish that the government didn't "care" about me.

Just another excuse for the weak... Blame Americas public school systems and higher education indoctrination centers for spewing out morons that can’t handle life.

Last night I watched a puff piece on PBS promoting the use of psychedelics to treat various medical and mental conditions. I’m sure their funding for that program came from Big Pharma. Maybe the Sackler family needs more billions.
