Pressure it what can puts you in stress but not all the time and mostly comes from external behaviors as having overload of tasks, Manager need you for alternative tasks, someone needs your supports and so on.

 

Stress it can be pressure converted to stress and it’s what you deal with internally that effects your feelings as dis motivation, no one care about your tasks, no one support you, no time management, be nervous, someone make you mad and so on.

 

 For the pressure converted to stress when you see someone resigned from your department that will give you pressure but also it will converted to stress because the management didn’t make reaction

 

To summarize pressure is external behaviors effect you and stress is internal negative emotion that you effected by.
