Who better to explain falling to rock bottom than the residents of Bikini Bottom?

Always Blowing Things Out of Proportion

Face it, bad things happen. For people with Anxiety, however, the most minor problems can seem like the end of the world.

Oscar-Worthy Acting

If you don't want people worrying, you've mastered (or at least tried to master) acting like you're okay when in your head, it's definitely not the case. Very often, you have to let the repressed feelings out all at once as soon as you're alone.

Paranoia

It's not always thinking someone has it out for you (Though that sometimes is the case, especially if the person is the world), it could be randomly worrying if you have your keys, wallet, or even homework. You have to check everything before you're comfortable.

Bodily Functions

Things may happen with your body that you can't explain. Random headaches, nausea when you eat, as usual, sweating profusely, sudden itching, even shaking.

Self Esteem

Maybe you think very little of yourself, so everything bad that happens around you is your fault. Or you may may wear yourself out because you're trying to prove that you're better than everyone else. Either way, your self image is out of wack.

Overwhelmed

You're pushed hard, especially if people don't know how prone you are to anxiety. At its peak, you can barley function because your mind is everywhere. You forget things, and sometimes you have to avoid going out so you don't have to deal with other people.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
