Have you guys even looked up the definition of emotional distress? Does a tank making big pulls keeps you up at night? Or do you turn to alcohol or drugs because a healer is not dpsing in savage? You should probably stop playing and go to a doctor if you do. No GM can help you with that.
I don't think you completely understand the broadness of these rules being punt in by SE and the lack of any definitions tied to them.

The dictionary term for "emotional distress" may not be SE's or a GM's definition of "emotional distress." Even if it is, SE or a GM cannot ask the person who is under "emotional distress" to provide any proof that they are under actual emotional distress on a medical level since that would violate several laws that SE can get sued for. SE and the GMs are going to have to take the emotionally distressed person's word that they are emotionally distressed.

I look at rules all day as a Service Level Agreement Subject Matter Expert for a telecommunication company I work for. You would be surprised about how much customers try to get away with claiming something they clearly do not have, but want to not pay or want special services. If certain rules are not clear and words not defined, then the customer will abuse them.
