I'm starting to get really stressed out. I have to much to deal with. I always like to have my life organized so I have aa planner it kind of takes some of the stress off but I need more. I always get goos grade a maintain a 79% average, I have to deal with perr pressure of drugs and saying no and blah blah, on top of my socail life which is WAY WAY to complicated, Track, Cross Country, baseball and my fellow classmates are morons(some of them).I just feel like I NEED to blow up at someone. I'm not that kind of girl but I'm really stressed. I think having so much on my schedule is kind of holding me back and making me stressed. But I'm an over achiver I NEED to have a lot to do. Good grades and all hat stuff is hard work! That's why I have a study schedule and while all that is nice I still feel like punching some people. SO obviously this problem is more socail then anything but having so much stress on me already makes the socail 3 times worse.

HELP?!

If you were my daughter,Im 53, Id be proud of you. You have a lot of interests, you get good grades and up to now youve been holding it all together, but "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Sounds like you need a little break, or possibly need to cut something out of your busy schedule so you have a little time for you. Maybe a hobby or interest that helps slow things down a little, and get you away from everything for a little while.

You've got to get your priorities in order and a few of your top priorities are:1. to make time for yourself. 2. Make time to rest and destress.

It doesn't make you a better person to take on every task imaginable. After a while you're not as good at most things, you don't enjoy them, you see failure as a black mark on you instead of a learning experience which is what failure actually is. Our greatest inventors, writers etc. often failed at what they tried to do.

If you don't slow down to smell the coffee and the flowers you're going to cause yourself long time grief and that will escalate into depression and that's not something anyone wants to deal with.

Go for a massage or a nice walk in a park. Learn to relax !
Don't be soooooooo driven. Life's too short...and all those other cliche's

I can see that you feel the need to keep busy but your busy self is denying your quiet self a chance to breathe. Sometimes we take on too much in order to avoid having to work out or work on something that is bothering us.

You are stressed out but only because you have created this tumultuous schedule. Try and get rid of one activity that is not really enriching your life and then do nothing during that time period. Nothing does not mean lying on your bed and staring at the ceiling. Nothing can mean just walking slowly to a park to sit and think or down the main street looking in windows. Nothing can be no cell phone, IPod, or
companionship while you have a coffee and read a newspaper. Nothing can be walking your dog, reading a book that is something non-school related. Nothing is lying a bathtub and painting your toenails.

Stress is created by not stopping and just being you, alone, and using some time to let go of all the things you imagine to be so important to accomplish.

Your stress is caused by your habitual need to maintain the illusion that you are in "control" of your life.

At night, just before going to bed, bury your face in your pillow and scream, yell, curse and generally go "crazy" for several minutes. The closer you can get to recognizing that your life is doing you, and not the reverse... the clearer and more at peace you will be.

Try it, you will like it.

Peace
