Do you have this reaction to thinking about opening the files even if you commit to closing them immediately afterward? Perhaps with a not-working-on-them purpose in mind, like checking to make sure the files haven't been corrupted or anything?

Yup. In fact, it appears I have a mild stress reaction to just discussing doing so online.

What about asking someone else to open them for you? I expect this would be stressful, but would it be so much so that you couldn't do it?
