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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
