Stress!!!

[Guest guest]

I wouldn't be surprised if this topic has already been covered

somewhere, but does anyone else feel like it gets worse when they're

under a lot of stress?

I had three test today, one of them one which could make or break

whether I get a C in that class and will be able to graduate this

semester or not. By the time I was at church this evening, I just

COULD NOT TAKE IT. I eyed everyone in fear who so as much reached in

their purse (in fear they would pull out a piece of gum), and got up

left the class aburptly when I saw that my sister's boyfriend had

acquired a piece of gum from a girl sitting next to him, and ended up

hiding in the bathroom. I can usually handle it a lot better than I

did today--but today I just completely freaked.

On the bright side of this, while I was hiding in the bathroom, one

of the older women came in and convinced me to tell her what was

wrong. Her daughter and son-in-law, who are both good friends of

mine, already knew of the situation---I had actually forgotten that

her daughter had told me that her own brother (at least at one time)

had the same problem as me, so she might understand a bit better! She

was very understanding, and it was good to get it off my chest to

someone else!
