> Anyway...I got a little carried away there, but oh well. I guess what I'm doing right now to deal with all this stress is...hmm...I've been thinking to myself lately that there's a reason why all of this is happening to me, so I need to accept the good things along with the not-so-good things. And if I help other people to the best of my ability, whether or not they appreciate it at first, then I have done the best job I possibly can to help them. Also, I've just recently become close to God again, so I've been putting my trust in Him...cuz a lot of things have been going on lately that make me want to blow up. It seems like nothing's going right for me...but since everything happens for a reason, then I'm just trying to remember that I'm learning every day from the experiences I'm going through. :)
I don't know if anything I said will help you or not, but at any rate, it helped me...lol. :)

you know, honestly it did, if only in reminding me that i'm not the only person who's dealing with stuff. But also... I have such a hard time remembering to rely on god for EVERYTHING... which is what I need to do. Actually, last night I did let one of my friends who I do advise a lot and stuff that I am feeling burned out, and she basically offered to be put on hold till I've got myself together more. so that was nice. I know this is something I'll work through and be fine with... and honestly, it's kinda nice being this close to people, knowing that it's my last year with them.
