Pretty much all my heroes are stressed out. How can I come back?
I've just started playing Darkest Dungeon, and I had no idea what was going on. I somehow managed to win a mission with all 4 heroes being stressed out (paranoid etc.), but given the way the previous mission went, that means that every available healer I have is over the stress threshold and starts to stress out all other party members from the moment we enter the dungeon.
This seems to have started a kind of feedback loop where I can't possibly hope to finish a dungeon without multiple new characters becoming overly stressed. It doesn't look like there's any hope of ever putting together a coherent non-stressed party again. Should I just start the game over since it's so early? What are my viable options for getting back into a playable state?
