I worry about everything.
I think way too much and I can't help it, I've been doing this since I was a little kid. I overreact to the most stupid things. For example, I have trouble falling asleep because I'm up worrying about college and I'm only a SOPHOMORE in high school. My mom yelled at me for being late for school today and I wanted to cry about it. And, my friend didn't say bye to me when I left school and it got me in the worst mood. My mind immediately jumps to the worst scenario, like "OMG she didn't say bye because she hates you!" and I freak out about it. Sometimes I wish I could turn my mind off, because now I'm getting in these terrible moods and yelling at people because I worry too much. I always think that people hate me but I know that's not true. Ugh I wish I could just stop. And right now I'm worrying about worrying. Ahhh. Any suggestions on how I could just get myself to calm down a bit and stop thinking about everything? Thanks.

Dear "I worry about everything.",
Thought stopping may help keep your thoughts under control. However, it important for you to know why you have these thoughts.

Meditation, and I mean a lot of meditation, should help; along with thought stopping, understanding GAD, and maintaining a positive attitude at all times.
Good Luck and peace of mind to you.

There's a couple of things you can try. Make a worry box: Decorate a shoe box, write your thoughts down and then put the papers in the box and put the box out of sight. Your worries are put away and can't escape from the box.
Another technique is called thought stopping, this site explains it much better than I can.

well first off, this is normal.
secondly, just take a deep breath, and maybe write down everything you're worried about. or, talk to one of your friends about everything you're worried about.
when i start worrying about a million things at once and start jumping to conclusions, i realize i'm really stressed out and need to chill out. so, i turn on music and/or i do art (photography, writing, drawing, graphic design), and that is how i cope. everyone copes differently. just do something that calms you down.
good luck =]
