Nerves

[Rodarian]

I panic easily when it comes to work stress.. You should have seen me during my mini thesis mode.. I was a bag of nerves and tears! Not cool at all..

Power that Be, give me Courage Wisdom and Strength to see my thesis through...

I do pretty well with work stress, I know that I did my best and if it doesn't work out then try something else. But then again I have no family to support at the moment and Im sure that will change in the future.

After reading some of the extreme reactions some people seem to have with their nerves I figure I'd like to share some of the pearls of wisdom I learnt over the years about worrying, being nervous ect. I've been there in the past, I worried so much about people been so nervous that I'm pretty sure it was a huge contributer to me having a mental breakdown of sorts. Like I said in my previous post mostly I don't let things get at me these days I cope really well and don't seem to express my nerves around people apart from going a little on the quiet side. Well what I learnt to help me go from being a complete control freak who'd pretty much worry when things weren't exactly how I wanted them to be to how I am now (I consider myself to be a fun but balanced person, I'm not sure if those who know me would agree with this entirely but hell screw you guys, I'm going home!) was when I lost control over my situation I realized, looking at life, things can always be worse, you could be dead for starts and thus no matter what happens I look at it and think "well it could be worse, this sucks but heck I wouldn't wanna be some starving kid in Somalia or something" When I think about things like that I kinda end up with a little perspective ok so starving child in Somalia is a little extreme but you go past a hobo and you just see them and think "Hell whatever goes on tomorrow, at least I won't end up like that" That kind of thinking allows you to try and keep things in perspective and that allows you to keep control over your nerves and remain calm.

Ashley, ladies are not meant to be loose!

Maxx, glad to see you bare your heart and give advice on dealing with anxiety issues! I would make a longer post but I am afraid sharing my personal thoughts on a message board is a distant seven million two hundred forty-five thousand sixty-third on my list of Things I Would Like To Do because of the overwhelming support you have seen above! Never shall it be what it could be!

I often get anxious when doing something abnormal but I figure locking up and freezing is worse than carrying on and finishing what needs doing!
