Of  late I've found myself crying for just about no reason. It kind of feels like i'm living to die.I over think everything in my head way too much.The day before any major activity i have lined up it's like i just obsess about it.Whenever i mention it to others they just say don't worry about it.I wish it were that easy.I've never really researched it before and this is my first time.It's interesting to see that anxiety plays a part in so many others lives like my own.It feels like when i talk to my family and friends about how i feel it's like they look at me as if i'm speaking another language.I usually end up putting my foot in my mouth because sometimes i will say what i think without editing it in my head.

Look it up - you can watch stuff on youtube about it. The guy is called jon kabat zin and he has been teaching this stuff for along time. I find it really helps. Obviously not one thing itself can help to overcome anxiety but I promise this does really help alot. I have found something called mindfulness.
