Pressurised, tense (8)

I believe the answer is:

stressed

(Other definitions for stressed that I've seen before include "Feeling tension" , "Strained or emphasised" , "Harassed, strained" , "Insisted" , "Hassled, under pressure" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
