It's morning, you're late, and you have about 1,743 things on your to-do list. You tell yourself not to freak out, then laugh out loud hysterically (yes, you get weird looks from people walking by) because obviously you're going to freak out and then you're going to worry about the time you're wasting while freaking out when you should be using that time to check at least one item off your list of 1,743 things. You're stressed. Perpetually. It's kind of your "thing." If you're seldom able to find your chill, then you can relate to some harsh realities that people who are always stressed out face on a daily basis. The struggle is real.

The list of things that stress us out is long. Very long.

Just when we think we've got our stress under control, it has other plans.

We try to convince ourselves we're not stressed. It doesn't always work . . .

We invented the word.

We don't always help ourselves out.

It can be hard to deal.

We have our own special ways of coping.

We have to applaud our accomplishments sometimes, though!

We tend to get a little ahead of ourselves.

Weekdays can be rough.

But we're doing JUST FINE, promise!

You could say that we overthink things from time to time.

We're constantly juggling one too many things.

It's possible we get a little overwhelmed at times.

We sigh a lot.

Things that help our stress: food and sleep.

"Are you OK?" is a complicated question for us.

We're often on an emotional roller coaster of sorts.

We're just a teensy bit emotional.

We try really hard to have perspective.

Sometimes we're our own worst enemy.

We seek balance in life . . . but we don't always necessarily FIND that balance.

Thinking ahead sends us down a rabbit hole of stress.

We stay positive . . . kind of.

Really all we want to do is curl in a ball and sleep away the stress.
