Stress can be the pressure or tension exerted on an object or the emotional strain of demanding circumstances.
Representing the crushing underwater pressure of the Ocean depths, My ASL Dictionary has a cartoon of a Scuba diver in a black Wetsuit illustrating the ASL hand sign for STRESS and PRESSURE.
The palm of Extended B hand presses down on the opposite S hand twice, a visual for compressing pressure.
OPPRESSION is a single movement, forcibly pressing the B hand down onto the opposite S hand once.
