Are they grammatically correct?

1. I feel the strain.
2. I feel the tension.

Thank you!


They're grammatically correct, but in a situation where you're really busy and overwhelmed, the phrases "I'm stressed" or "I feel stressed" would probably be better.

There really isn't a big difference between "strain" and "tension".

One definition of "strain" is- To be subjected to great stress.

One definition of "tension" is- Mental, emotional, or nervous strain.
