Wow, who would have thunk it - the most stressful state in the nation is little ol' West Virginia:
West Virginia is home to the highest percentage of stressed-out people in the United States, research from the University of Cambridge suggests.I suppose that makes some sense.

I have to say, tho', I'm not sure exactly how our short life spans jive with being the oldest state in the Union.
West Virginians are more anxious, impulsive and stressed than residents of any other state - even New York, which ranked third - according to the study.* * *

In West Virginia, people exercise less. Heart disease and cancer rates are sky-high. Life spans are shorter than just about anywhere else.
