One way to picture it: something has been pressed on hard from outside, and the strain shows — in a person's face, in their body, in their circumstances, or on a wooden surface.
有股外力壓過來、把人（或東西）壓得留下痕跡。那個「被壓過」的狀態就浮在表面上——可能是臉上的難過、身體裡的痛、家裡的拮据，也可能是木頭桌面上被敲打出來的凹痕。distressed 幾乎都不是自己變成這樣的，而是被什麼弄成這樣的，所以它天生帶著「承受過壓力」的味道。
