._.; Eh, I hope no one minds me posting this...there are probably more worthwhile issues to fret over, I guess...

But ever since school started for me, I've been incredibly stressed out. Even when my day isn't terribly strenuous, I come home with a headache and feeling that very distinct pain in my shoulders and temples that comes when you feel very tense and frustrated. I don't know how to make it go away - it just kinda lingers with me, even when I'm sitting around and trying to relax.

I don't know whether my terribly anti-social behavior as of late has anything to do with the stress...but i've also become really withdrawn lately. I can't stand to be around many people, even my close friends. Everything just seems to bother me, and there's been more than one incident where I've shut myself in my room and shouted curses or thrown something at a wall because I've been getting SO annoyed with people and how they behave, regardless of their intentions. I don't understand what's wrong - usually I am introverted, but I've never had problems being around people I trust. I don't want to act like this, but it's getting very automatic, and my boyfriend's been urging me to see a doctor about it, but I'm very scared to ask my parents to take me. I don't want to keep telling them "I don't know what's making me act like this", because whenever I do they instantly assume I'm hiding something from them.

>_<; So...if it's not a problem, could you guys please pray that the stress will go away and that my parents will understand my situation? Because this really doesn't feel good at all, and it's beginning to really affect me...

of course i will

I understand, and I'll be sure to pray for you. ^_^

Heavenly Father,
Please be with Kokoro Daisuke as well as her family and friends. Bring healing to her body and soul. If there is demonic influence involved, we bind it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for hearing our prayers, Lord.
Amen.

Hey, Ko-Dai. I understand how you feel. It's probably just stress. Pray about it (as I will) and try taken a nice, hot, bubble bath when you have the time. They work great.

You bet, and I'm sorry to hear that your close friends are getting to you. : X

You're in my prayers, most definitely.

God bless.

Prayers for you~

That kind of stuff is really hard... : (

I will pray, Kokoro.

praying for you!

^_^ Thank-you for the prayer, everyone. <3 It was very much appreciated. I'm feeling much better stress wise, especially after talking to my friends and my boyfriend about the troubles. And God definitely provided for me in my time of need - school due dates have been pushed back, and I feel like I have a lot more room to breathe and do the best work that I can manage.

I still feel those tinges of anti-socialness creeping up on me once and a while (and who wouldn't when a ridiculously long line stands between you with a splitting headache and a wonderfully cold pepsi?), but I'm trying my best to cope.

<3 I really appreciate the prayer everyone, I think it's really helped me out a lot. ^^

Glad things are going better for you. Continuing to lift you up.

done

Oh, I feel so bad for not seeing this earlier!

I'll be praying for your situation. As one who can be a bit of an introvert (depsite the fact that those I'm around laugh at me for such a statement) myself, I can associate with this kind of stress. You'll be in my prayers, Koko-chan!

Ahh, I can relate. Sometimes stress and other things build up and can really drag us down. Sometimes taking a small break from what is frustrating us can really help. I'm glad to see you're doing a bit better. I'll continue to pray for ya.
