Planar Sickness System TO Stress system

[Astegard]

My suggestion is to try and convert the Planar Sickness system (that sees a lot less use now) to a Stress management system.
Being an adventurer is stressful business and you need time to cool down every now and then.
This will also gives players the opportunity to build RP around helping others deal with their stress or dealing with high stress of their own.

Thanks for reading and sorry for the split posts its due to forum issues not allowing me to put in all in 1

What gives stress?
Certain very dangerous quest zones give a lot of stress (can be used to prevent farming of certain quests too)
Some rings could be very stressful/spooky to get through.
DM event zones where you are literally fighting TCHUN or watching people roll for a feast

Downsides of stress
More or less up to the DM team, could be similar to the planar sickness effects.
Depending on class they could be different or maybe even beneficial? (letting out all that pent up stress in a rage, or monks being resistant)
Depending on alignment different things might be stressful?

What Relieves stress?
Well made food and drink
Going fishing
A good trip on some drugs
Meditating, prayer, sitting around a campfire or walking around nice places (pretty forests , churches, taverns)
Certain spells or the prayers of a cleric
A beautiful performance by a bard.
