Honestly, think about others before yourself. Realize that things usually work themselves out. You are not the creator so you have no real control, even though you think you do. The only "control" you have is "believing" in the good or the bad outcome. It's your choice... Believe that it will be fine and it will. And the exact opposite is possible if you believe that. The key is to realize you know the creator and can ask him for help in any area, at any time, in any place... and if you really know him then you can really believe in him and what he can/will do...

It's called catastrophising or "crisis" addiction. People who have this are generally depressed and overreact to everything. It's a problem with interpretation of others' motives and can genuinely cause way too much stress for the individual.
I had a friend who was always living in crisis. She has ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Obsessive traits and is just impossible to deal with. Several calls a day over nothing can get very tiring.
Help can come in the form of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sometimes a psychiatrist can put you on anti-anxiety medications to help you get through the therapy and then hopefully the therapy would leave you sane without the medications.

Find other ways to get attention. Dramatizing minor events as a crisis or celebration should only be done as a source of humor to others.
You may be doing this to get a response from others. Try understating everything for a week and see what happens. Chances are you will be asked a lot of questions. Then you can make a big deal without feeling guilty.

It's part of your nature by now... so you'll have to make small goals... just imagine the responses you would have rather given ... keep those in mind and slowly try to work towards that being the norm... eventually it will incorporate itself into your personality... and don't be disappointed with yourself for not being exactly who you want to be.. rather take a positive approach and be happy that you are trying.
Change doesn't happen over night.

Get a grip on what is really important in life. Figure out what your priorities are. If you are more worried about what is going on in the next episode of the Real World San Diego, you are living in a fantasy world. Also, stop being so insecure!

You have everything you need inside of you to make this happen. When you get up in the morning, make a CHOICE to let things kind of roll off of your back. Think about the problem and decide if it is worth getting your undies in a bundle about it.
It usually isn't and YOU will be the better and happier person for it!

Instead of thinking about what went wrong, think about what went right and what you have to be thankful for. Its not an overnight process but if you can retrain your mind to think positive, it will have a lasting effect :)

try not to worry so much about mundane things. i had to do the same thing. try not to worry about things you have no control over. if you can fix it, then fix it, if not, push it way in the back of your mind. hope this helps, good luck
