For those people who flip out over everything, here's to you. And may I explain the struggle of a worried mind as close to perfection as I can.

Let's go!

First, let me start off by saying this; people who don't worry about every little thing (or just in general don't really worry a lot), DON'T be rude to a person who does. I'm basing this article on this topic so others can try and understand what it means to feel this way, while also trying to give some advice to people on how to tame the wild worry beast!

At one point in our lives we've all been worried about something, and in conclusion made us feel antsy, scared, stressed etc, but for these certain people, it's everywhere, and hard to escape.

For those who don't exactly understand, let me give some examples;

"I'm worried that if I do end up taking the stairs my shoelaces might be undone, or I'll trip. I don't want to fall! Or worst! What if my legs give out and a stumble?!"

"If my computer is acting weird then I may not be able to send the email to my boss. This is embarrassing and makes me look bad! "

"It takes thirty minutes to get home, but then I have to do some chores, set up for tomorrow, do my homework, eat, take a shower, put my clothes away, and make tea, so I might not have time to write. I must hurry!"

"I know I shouldn't, but I worry for my friend way too much, and I don't know why! They texted me saying they're fine but what if something bad just happened to them now, or they're lying to me?!"

"Aw, that kid looks sad. I'm worried about him.... what if he's depressed?! Or has troubles at home!? What if he's starving!? Someone give him food!"

You may feel some of these, and have a worried mind or not, but the point is simple; These poor souls overanalyze everything. Why? Well, this could be for many reasons;

1. They could be a perfectionist: These types of people want everything nice, neat, and in order. When things start to collapse their brain does all kinds of flip-outs. If they don't feel complete, this person will most likely have a freak attack.

2. The person's mind could always be running: A wandering mind can lead to overthinking and negative thoughts if not careful. They are doing too many things at once, and it's draining their brain.

3. They want things done: Overachievers tend to do way more than expected, and yet STILL don't think they are doing enough. They have to meet their own criteria, but sadly, they never will. Their criteria tend to mean perfection which is impossible. Usually, they believe if you want something done right, do it yourself.

4. They have other things to do: Sometimes having to do certain things you don't particularly like is stressful, especially if it takes too much time and is hard to finish. Then you're stuck. When this happens and you also realize you have more stuff to accomplish, the person feels weighed down and beaten. Thus, creating a worrying brain.

If you have something else to add let me know in the comments! This is all I could come up with for now.

You see, worrying people don't have control of their rapid minds, and I know it can get annoying (the freak attacks, chattering, hyperventilating, etc.) but please, know that saying "just calm down! Stop talking. It's okay!" doesn't actually help. Even ignoring them makes the situation worse. It then gets the person also thinking about if they are annoying you, and if you even care/listen about what they are saying, which then worries them more!

Complicated? Yeah, I know.

For the friends who see these worriers, just let them vent to you, but acknowledge them as well. Make it known that you care. Honestly, these people just need a nice hug, so please understand these attacks are very draining to the brain. Try to lead them in a calming way, and to better peace of mind.

For the worriers, this is for you (these tips may be very similar to the last article on stress); I know it's hard to just stop, and take a breath, and it's even harder to stop worrying when you have so much to do, but you have to find ways to calm yourself.

Literally, stop what you're doing! DO IT! RIGHT NOW!

Good!

You need to just calm down, and relax those tense brain muscles. Try laying down, resting, or taking a break. You can also just try to do something you love. If something you love is worrying you, then move on to something else. Usually, at this point, all you can do is lay down and breathe. Yup, do it!

If you just need to take a break before continuing work, grab a quick snack, or get some fresh air outside. Massage the tense body parts, and drink some warm milk or tea. Heck, go take a run! Let off some steam.

Worriers can only learn more about their worry attacks, try to avoid situations that make them worried, then learn how to cope with them. With healthy coping skills, over time the worry will be more tolerable and less crippling. Don't let being a worry-well consume you all the time! Find a way to control it.

Most importantly, never say "It's not possible. I can't." Because I promise you, if you try hard enough, you'll see the answer lies not too far from you.

And now, my fellow imperfect buddies, I leave you with a quote;

"Some people worry, while others sit and prepare." Be prepared, be strong and don't lose hope! 

Hope this was beneficial to some people and that these tips aren't becoming useless.

Okay, putting duct tape over my annoying mouth now!
