Stressed again.

So I'm forced to write about stress again as its something constantly on my mind. Instead of writing generally, I'm going to go over the process of me stressing.

  1. When I stress it starts off small, I can feel a niggling doubt which I, usually, manage to put off and this leads to me procrastinating or not trying as hard as I should. I normally feel confident at this stage.
  2. Later on this stress builds, and I begin to panic. This is when things get interesting. I start to work a little harder and it is here I begin to realise I don't have as much time as I thought and know less about the subject then I thought.
  3. About now I have a panic attack. I can't focus, concentrate, or see the end goal, all of which lead to more stress and to a feeling of hopelessness. I fidget, cry, and am just generally irritable.
  4. By now I can't think about anything else, I'll have periods of productivity, but I wont be able to calm down, or take a break, or let myself think about anything other then this stress. What makes matters worse, is that I'll still procrastinate and be distracted, for instance writing this blog.
  5. Untill the project is done, dusted, and out of my control, this cycle will repeat over and over.

And that, followers, is how my head is right now. I'm stressing, I feel a failure, and I am worried that I'm going to fail or receive a low grade. I've lost sight of the path to the end goal, my heads a web of intangibility.

Eugh.

Wish me Luck.
