overload of stress

3:27 p.m. @ Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2001

I just need to vent a moment. I am so stressed! And you want to know why? Because I have a presentation in class on Thursday, and one on Monday. It's not even happening today, but every time I think of either of these presentations, I feel physically ill. I'm lucky I'm making it through the day here at work; but it's only barely.

What's wrong with me? Do I have another 'disorder' to add to my growing list? (In my attempts to explain the weird things going on with me, I often have a new illness or disorder that fits my symptoms. People think I'm a hypochondriac, but they're wrong.)

I'm worried though. In my two classes I have to present a mini lesson, as if I were the teacher of the class. If such a small thing freaks me out, what will I ever do as a teacher, if I even make it that far?

Does anyone know any stress management techniques? Why am I such a freak when it comes to public anything? Yikes.
