I'm curious, why everything in France is so terrible?
And yes, I completely agree with the "stressing about everything" stuff. I have a co-worker who on occasions we talk for hours on this. "I'm stressed because I have too much work" and others are like "I'm stressed because I haven't been assigned to a project and I feel I'm not doing anything".
And others stress about the traffic, and the weather, and the politic situation and on and on...

The typical french answer is:
A) Things are terrible for everyone in France right now
B) But I am personally quite happy, thank you very much.
