another sob story.
I used to feel accomplishment in anything I did. I would clean and re-do my room and it would make me feel awesome. It was the best feeling in the world. Today I cleaned, I studied for exams, I learned another song on the piano, downloaded some great songs on my iPod and I baked for my family. Nothing... I can't get happy. Mind you I have exams and I've been so stressed but that should not be as big of a deal as I feel it is. All of a sudden I feel as though this summer will define the rest of my life and this fear is affecting everything I do. I'm so nervous that I can't even enjoy the little things. How do I burry my funk?

It would be easier to answer this question if I knew your age.
Is it possible this is your final year of high school. If so I would not worry to much as to how you are feeling. You are probably a little stressed out as one chapter of your life is closing and another chapter is opening.
If I am correct in my assumption then what might be happening is this. You see some of the comfort zones you have developed over the years are dissolving for you may be going off to college in the fall or you need to go out into the adult world and find a job upon graduation.
Fear of the unknown is normal and a bit stressful especially when you add in the stress of final exams and graduation. The funk you find yourself in will pass as the stressors of today are removed as they pass. The fear of the unknown, well that to will pass will come to pass and you will end up most likely being very annoyed with yourself when you find out you had nothing to fear.
If you are going on to college you will find this is a wonderful time of life. A time to spread your wings a bit and enjoy some of the freedoms that come with being a young adult attending an institute of higher education.
If you are not going on to college but intend to go out into the working world. Then I ask you to reconsider. There are many reasons why you may not be going on to college. One may be affordability. If so I urge you to investigate your local community college. Speak with the financial counselor their as there are many grants such as they Pele grant and others that can be applied for that will pay for a good portion off the tuition. Then there are also student loans that will pay for the rest.
An AA degree is far better than no degree in today's job market. While the community college is considered to be a two year school many students are taking three years and a lighter class load so they can work and study at the same time.
Like I said without your age I am guessing. IF I have guessed correctly you really have nothing to worry about. If I'm wrong write back to me and I will try to give you a better answer once I have more information.

Well, it could be perhaps that the things you are doing are things that you aren't passionate enough about so that they would stir up joy in you. I could be outsides weeding in my garden until it slowly got dark. My family would be asking if I had plans to make dinner cus it was way past dinner time. I thought it was still early, because for me, gardening is some I am so passionate about, the time just flys so quickly. I never seem to have enough time to do gardening related things. Maybe you just need a change.
I will volunteer the info that stress will lower our vibrational energy and lower the neuro transmitters in our brain that keep us in happy spirits no matter what is going on for us. One thing that raises these levels in bear hugs...good long hugs. A brief hug wont have time to affect you. Reading up on hugging therapy on line. Most of us no longer get many hugs 8 a day is recommended minimum. We all get far less. If hugging doesnt sound too cool to you, singing helps, movement like jogging, dancing, skipping, and playing the music that usually makes your spirit inside feel so light like its floating away. Lastly laughter, and comdedy. These really are proven to help. Good Luck
