Re: Positive and Negative Stressors
I remember when a doctor told a patient to avoid feeling overjoyed. I was surprised as to why it was the case. It turns out that the patient has a heart problem. Any overwhelming emotions, be it sadness or happiness, greatly affect his/her heart.
To answer your question, I think it depends on the person. While I may be able to solve a basic math problem in less than a minute, it doesn't always mean it's a positive experience for me. Why? Because I probably hate the subject and that is why I prefer to get over with it. It may take longer hours for me to organize my bookshelves, but I can say that I love every minute I spend while doing it.
Some people may list the death of a spouse as their major stressor while others may not care about it. Really, it depends on your perspective in life. This is why I consider others' heartaches as valid even If I can't relate to their problems.

I think a great example of stress being a positive thing is if a person knows they are in danger, the stress causes a flight or fight response, which can, as a result save your life. But if a person is always in a state of panic, the flight or fight response is always active, even if there is no threat, and that's when anxiety and stress can be detrimental.
