As long as I can remember I've been a worrier. Everyone constantly tells me to calm down about things and to stop thinking that way but I can't help it. I don't choose to obsess over every little thing that does or could go wrong; it's like something in my head puts those thoughts there and I have no choice but to think about it. And I alternate between doing really well and then getting extremely down about everything (except dancing and playing music, which are my shining lights in my life) and sometimes want my life to end. But I'm afraid to talk about this to my parents other than "this is how I always am and have been" because they'll blame themselves and I don't want that to happen. (18f btw in college) Is this just how I am - type A personality or whatever - or am I sick? Any help is appreciated...
