Too much stress at a young age?

It is possible that you have an anxiety disorder, however I would see a doctor first. It is more likely that since you are trying a lot of new things, new job, driving, new school, you are just feeling a lot of pressure. My advice is to take a deep breath (in and out in a slow steady rythm) and think about something pleasant. This should help until you become more accustomed to the changes that you are going through. Good luck!

I was under alot of stress when I was pregnant, and I gave birth to a healthy 7 lb. 11 oz little boy...as long as you eat right, and take your prenatal vitamins you should be ok...try doing things to relieve your stress though cause it really isn't good for the baby or for you...good luck and congrats on the little edition!

Why not?  My 17 year old daughter has a handful of friends that are in their twenties.  Of course there is no denying that all concerned are probably at their height of hormonal activity and at times it plays into the relationships.  I think it all works because they all fess up to their feelings and work through them.  Above all else be honest and just have fun!!!  Life doesn't always have to be some big drama!\nSometimes we can think about things too much and miss out on livin' the moment!

Yeah you see relief in the future, so your current high stress job seems even more stressful than normal.  Just keep focusing on your future plans knowing how good they are.

We're all placed in stressful situations sometimes that are difficult to cope with. My best advice to you is to look at the positive side of things. The fact that you have a job and an income is a good thing. The fact that you are using a computer to access the Internet is a great privilege (believe me it's a privilege). The fact that you were raised in this great nation is an opportunity. You sound young and you entire life is ahead of you. This is only a chapter in your life. A chapter is bound to end when another begins. Have patience and faith in yourself and in your ability to change your perception of your situation. Thank God for the moments that you have. Remember, this is life, not a dress rehearsal. Make everyday count. And finally, I have personally found that I feel a lot better when I stop focusing on my own problems and try to offer help to someone else. We get so focused on self sometimes that we forget that there are people out there who are in a much worst situation than us. Try to lend a helping hand to someone, and you will see how blessed you will become.

It is stressful sometimes but it is kind of a blessing. Parent might not think so but...... No one really understands a kid with ADHD. People make fun of u and everyones always nagging on you. I'm 12 also and i find it difficult at times. One good thing to do is to let him go out for allot of sports it harness energy into an activity and is also good for the body. It is also very hard to concentrate on allot of things. But on  the other hand i am a very bright person altogether. I would try to see if his school has a gifted and talented program at his school( if he is exceptionally bright). It is a class that  is for people who think outside of the box. Don't get discouraged though, it is said that people eventually grow out of it. Well i wish u the best of luck and if u need any info about it just e-mail me at blondandgifted@yahoo.com or at elmo_rox_818@yahoo.com My mom has a major in life Science and Biology. Well, good luck and God Bless!!

I'm always stressed.  But I've learned that there is good stress and bad stress.  I choose good as much as possible, and when the bad happens I know that the good will follow.\nBut I will check this out to see what it's about, especially getting the energy part, I lack that quite a bit.

Wow.  You take me back.  I had to handle school and four children from age 2 1/2 to 7.  It was a long time ago - 25 years.  And I was younger.  But I know how you feel.  I always thought "when I have the time, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown, because I deserve it."  Funny, huh.  \n\nTry to make sure you get enough sleep.  Without it, school is so much harder.  See if you can get help with babysitting.  I wasn't aware til my last year in school that the state would have paid for babysitting for me.  See if you can talk to a counselor there and find out all the programs you qualify for that might give you some help.  Enlist any friends or family and don't feel guilty about it.\n\nI felt a lot like I was not giving enough attention to my kids, and maybe I wasn't.  But now they have children of their own and they grew up ok.  \n\nTake some deep breaths.  Know you can do it.  And that it too will pass.  (I wondered at the time if that light at the end of the tunnel was really an oncoming train.  It just didn't seem to end.)\n\nGood luck to you.  And, in a funny way, thanks for reminding me of things I have been through.  I admire you greatly.  By comparison, the things that are going on in my life right now do not seem so bad at all.

Yes, but stress comes from a variety of sources. Best of luck on managing it. Remember no matter how busy take time for yourself.

Hey bro don't worry...as the years go by you will gain more control over your emotions.I use to be the same way as you...I'm alot more mellow now but still destructive at times and have the urge to want to cause havoc onto the world.However,I know right from wrong and use more "reasoning" and try thinking twice these days before making rash decisions...this type of mentality had developed over the years and I still have much to learn.I myself had a decent upbringing with a religious background and all,but because I'm such a hothead I must battle with the demons inside...most times I defeat them but every now & then the bad will get a hold of me.At your age with all the testosterone and adrenaline flowing it's going to be tough to overcome all the things you're feeling inside.That is why as we age we tend to make wiser and better decisions...it's all about trial & error.You seem to have a good head on your shoulders-I mean you at least have decency to come in here and seek help from total strangers...and you're concerned about these things that seem to bother you.At your age I don't think I gave it much thought,but then again I was really rebelious & out of control!You seem to be better than that...so good luck with your journey into manhood and trial & error-that's what growing up is all about............
