Words better off not being needed

Man I really need to find the time to post more often. This is getting lame. Not a very cheerful blog post since I'm not all that cheerful right now.

stressed out
ストレスで参らせる

Example:
I've been so stressed out since getting that mail.
あのメールが来たから大分ストレスで参らしてる。

Comment:
And I consider myself to have a really high stress tolerance too...

----

guilt trip
(n)罪悪感
(v)罪悪感を抱かせる。

Example:
My parents have been guilt tripping me over going to that party last night.
昨日の晩のパーティーに行ったから、親がずっと罪悪感を抱かせやがってる。

Comment:
By the time someone finishes up high school in the US, they've probably been guilt tripped so much it loses effect on them. In fact, it's probably considered a rather immature way of scolding someone.
