When I was 7 years old my mom took me to the doctor. The reason she said, was that I appeared to be constantly stressed out. I would stress out for the simplest of things. When I didn't do my homework or fought with my friends I would dream about it and be completely stressed out until I fixed what I had done. The doctor told my mom that I had an irritable vowel. This meant that I would become super stressed about stuff and then my stomach would start aching.
Until today I constantly feel stressed when I don't do stuff right. I stayed up all night during my trip in Miami because I couldn't stop thinking about Personal Project. Even though I was only a little bit behind, this thought overwhelmed my mind in a crazy, unimaginable way.
So when I reached the age of 12 I realized I had to start controlling it. It was hard. It was challenging. But it wasn't impossible. When I needed to complete school projects, I would try my best in order for me to not procrastinate. During those years I realized that stress doesn't help, in fact it keeps me overwhelmed therefore I was going to learn how to deal with it. First of all I started changing my attitude and started completing all assignments. But eventually, I figured out that school wasn't the only problem. Whenever I fought with my parents or friends I would stay up all night thinking about it and figuring out what I did wrong, even though sometimes I did nothing.
When I was 14 I realized that stress was a label, one I didn't want to carry around. People around started knowing that I would get ginormous stress attacks and start freaking out about the slightest of things. During 9th grade, many problems crossed my path. Instead of confronting them and learning how to deal with them, I would just back off and act alone. I would feel stressed and since I am not a person that likes sharing feelings and secrets with others I just kept that stress to myself.
Now only do I realize that one must learn to cope with stress. It's not always easy.

That's all you have to do, find one simple solution to your problem. But until you find the solution, don't freak out.
