I get stressed a lot not just by normally stressful stuff but things that don't bother anyone else. I don't handle being stressed very well but what I do seem to have learnt to do is hide it well. In fact I'm so good no one really knows about it, even though I would really love to tell someone everything.
The problem is i am really bad at talking to people in person(I am trying to find out if online counselling is a possibility) and I often fail to communicate my problems effectively and make the other person understand. Added to that I have been pretending everything is ok for so long that I don't think other people will believe me either :(
So i just have to carry on by myself and this makes me even more stressed. I have a huge amount of college work that I can't concentrate on because I'm so stressed about other things. But I get so angry with myself about it that just makes it worse. Then every where I look everything is all about xmas which is the time of year I hate most and cause stress for me for a number of reasons most people don't understand.
I feel like I am working so hard just to stop my life falling apart, but even that is not good enough. I really don't think I can carry on with it this way for much longer- I feel like I just can't cope with all this stress anymore.
