We've become used to thinking about stress in terms of specific issues or circumstances. For example, exam stress, stress from noise, relationship stress and so on.

Very interesting -- Thank you. I didn't know there were different "models" for stress. I guess my distress is mostly from trying to accomplish too much in too short a period of time. It builds, then shows up as chronic fatigue. It just happens that now that I'm taking a new medication, I have a lot more energy and haven't found that balance of doing vs. resting. Too often it becomes doing vs. undoing, which is totally different.
