Cool! Good for you. I will use you as an example.

One of the manager reviews at the first company I. Worked for mentioned my being calm and effective under stressful conditions, so I suppose this is an endorsement, but I do react to stress with anxiety sometimes, and in particular I stop eating and sometimes even drinking fluids.

I am not voting because I do not know about the average person having not been in her shoes.
