Anxiety problems?

[WDWAurora]

Does anyone have any experience with anxiety problems? Specifically non-depression related anxiety? Lately I seem to be stressed over everything and I can't concentrate on what I'm doing because I'm too busy worrying about the other stuff I have to do later. I've started having some crazy health problems, like a nearly constant upset stomach. This is so unlike me, and I just want to hear if anybody else has trouble with this sort of thing and if you have any advice. I think I've taken on too much. I'm in my senior year of college, finishing up my last hours. I have to go to grad school, but I can't pick one until my boyfriend finds a job, at which time he'll become my fiance (and can afford a ring) and we'll get married after I graduate, so my life is on hold till he finds a job and I know where we're going to be. I'm the International Hospitality team leader for the Baptist Student Center, and I'm in meetings about 3 times a week for that, plus other events for that. Plus I'm the secretary of my coed fraternity, which is the National Honor fraternity, so that's constant work too. I have a part time job, but that's like 10 hours a week, and almost less stressful because it's very monotonous labor.

Ugh, sorry to rant, but I'm going nuts and I just want to hear someone else say something to make me think I'm normal.

You have a LOT of irons in the fire, Aurora. Enough to give anyone anxiety. I have been there before, probably most adults have. Life can get complicated at times, overwhelming at times. Try to take a step back, prioritize, and move forward. You can do it, just try not looking at the whole HUGE picture all at once, just little vignettes of your life, one at a time. It wil work out, it does for all.

For a young person, I compliment you for the complexities you have taken on, but breathe slowly. And if your tummy keeps giving you a problem, get over to the clinic and have it checked.

Hugs,

Dan

PS: And a belated happy 21st!!!!!!

Your body is sending you a clear message the only way it knows how - please listen to it!

Let go of some of your extra activities for a while and give yourself some time to rest until you finish school.

Best wishes to you.
