" yea, I feel overwhelmed. And what really makes it bad is that I freeze and can't do anything. One example is I want to plant a big garden, but it seems like such a big job I can't get started. Or I can't decide what to eat so I don't eat. "

" I am completely overwhelmed all the time.... my mind races constantly, and I cant consintrate on the smallest tasks... went to the Dr. today, and she is trying me on Straterra which is for ADD... hopefully, if I can focus more my anxiety will come down a little. "

" This happened to me last week. One thing right after another, all about school stuff. After the millionth time crying about it, I thought about my uncle, who's always so cool calm and collected. Thinking about what he would do helped me put things into perspective. if you have someone like that, try to think of how they would handle it and do that. It might work for you. "
