How do I stop being so afraid to do hard things in my life?
I try to run away from hard problems by completely avoiding them, making them even worse. I don't know why I have this low self confidence when I know I'm able to do things great when I put my mind to it. How do I get out of this funk? It's seriously causing major trouble to my life right now. It's just easier to put things off and procrastinate. I have dreams I want to reach but it's like.. I don't bridge that gap. Like right now I'm supposed to be applying for college (one that's still accepting people for the fall 2012 school year) and my application is due in 1 week, but I'm putting off this very important thing in my life for no good reason. it's the reason why i'm even applying so late. why i didn't do well in high school for my senior year. this entire year has just been total hell, and i think it's mainly my fault, and don't know how to fix things. i don't have any close friends irl so i try to make up for feeling lonely and etc by keeping my mind busy on other things, at the expense of my schoolwork and everything. but this is not the right course to take for my future. it's not the right course to take if i want to go after my dreams. so why do i keep sabotaging myself? i went to a therapist a month ago and while it was nice to be able to talk to someone about personal things, i still feel the same, unfortunately. why am i keep causing this pain to myself when i know I can write a really good essay? it's like, i'm so afraid to even start taking the essay seriously. i'm still at the beginning stages and it's been this way for the past month. it's pathetic. why do i keep doing this and how do i stop

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
As we mature, our body and mind mature too. Our brain is the root cause of everything that we feel, emotionally and physically. You know, I'm a senior in high school and I still don't know what I want to do. I also have fears in me. Like what if I can't get the career I always dreamed of having and what if I don't get accepted by this college and etc. Take things one at a time. Don't over-stress over things. What happens is when your brain comes across something as important as what you are doing, it makes you feel all these emotions from excitement to fear. The best advice I can give you for this essay and when you do other things in life is to take a few deep breaths and clear your mind. when you have a clear mind, you can start the task at hand. This fear you are having sounds a lot like anxiety. Being anxious yet your body gets these uncomfortable feelings like the fear you are having. Just remember: take a few deep breaths and clear your mind. If you can't relax like that, try listening to some soft music. Music always helps me feel better. If you set your mind to it, you will achieve it. Here's a quote that I just love, "when you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place." Stay Strong.
