So I'm gonna try and make this short, but basically I am I'd say a generally high stress person on average in that I'm usually kind of bad at relaxing already.

That said, I don't think this serves as justification as a 22 year old college man for having a mental breakdown every other week and sometimes more often.

I just have a really bad habit of getting stressed about one thing, which leads to me getting stressed about another thing which spirals into hating myself and eventually just being bitter to everyone and everything and usually just trying to blow off steam or something by ranting to a friend, which honestly usually makes me spiral even harder.

And I'm just sick of it, im done with constantly worrying that I'm going to randomly go off on someone just because I can't realistically manage my stress.

When I'm not freaking out and in the midst of it, it seems so simple, just breath, push yourself away from it etc...

But in the moment I'm just paralyzed with the weight of every single insecurity and issue I have when the original issue was only the fact I have to finish a math assignment I forgot was due.

I think I've normalized it too long and one of my friends has been telling me I need to learn to manage my stress because it's not healthy and I agree. That being said, I have no idea how.

So I do the next logical thing and post here. Hopefully someone can offer some kind of insight or a place that I can perhaps.

Sorry this turned out longer than I expected by the way :/
