not having a job can get stressful
None of your examples are very stressful. Here's a few, not in any particular type of order:
Worrying about your children
Finding time to do all that is expected of you
Preparing for a big hard exam such as the bar
And even worse, waiting for the results
Preparing for trial or any other similar professional duty
Waiting on scarry lab results
Watching someone you love suffer
Not having enough money to pay all of your obligations
Being in a horrible marriage
Not in any particular order, I would list these things as stressful. A few other people here have also listed them.
1. Living paycheck to paycheck
2. Being suddenly unemployed
3. Facing a loved one's illness or death
4. Worrying about your children
5. Caring for someone elderly or disabled
6. Selling a house
7. Moving
8. Getting a scary diagnosis
9. Having any legal issues
10. Anticipating a major medical or dental procedure
