I don't know what to do.. I'm in 8th grade.. and seems like I have so many problems. Then I have to feel bad because other people are starving and whatnot and war is going on in other countries. I don't have problems with anybody.. but I'm having some anxiety problems and it might just be because of my age and hormones.. blah blah blah.. although anxiety runs in my family. All the stress of everything.. I don't have problems with anyone at school.. I have friends. But if one thing is not right anywhere (not just school) it makes me feel like I shouldn't really want to be happy. Blah Blah Blah.. I also have just started feeling like I have to clean and if I don't clean something then I think about it and can't enjoy myself doing things with my own time, like when I'm on the computer. I'm just wondering if someone can give me advice.

I feel for you. Anxiety is a terrible thing. All I can do is tell you is what I've learned. I've found certain things to do that force my mind to slow down. For instance, I like to read, play pool, and work out or ride my motorcycle. These activities force me to focus on other things besides what's causing me to be anxious. Sometimes we just need to stop and chill or stop and redirect our minds. Even if you have to force yourself. You may even need to take some medication if your anxiety becomes chronic.

You sound a bit depressed. And yes it could be because of your hormones, but it shouldnt always be like this. You are a very conciderate person, to want the best for others before your self, but you should allow some breaks from chores without feeling guilty. We all get tired and need a breather to focus. If we were always worried about cleaning and getting things in order, with out ever stopping or slowing down, we would go crazy. The world is going to have its problems, but you cant help that. Just be who you are, help when you can, and treat yourself to more rest time from life. you will be much happier, :-)

That's a lot of blah, blah,blah. Don't concern yourself with the problems of the world. Make life better where you are. Be kind and pleasant and appreciate what you have.
You may have some problems with obsessive/compulsive behavior. Ask your Dr. about it.

Just take a deep breath
I used to get worked up about every little thing too, but I realized that worrying would get me nowhere. Just relax. That will help you get your life in perspective.

sounds like you have OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). you should go to your doctor and get diagnosed. from the description, i really believe that you have it, so i'd get some medical advice.
