Q: Constantly stressed and worrying

Hi there. I'm a 26 year old female and I'm ruining my life and my relationship because I worry and stress over everything. I can't hold a job because once I get the least bit stressed, I break down and have to quit because it actually makes me physically ill and I can't stop crying and then I actually can't breath. I worry and dwell on everything and sometimes I can't sleep, or I wake up sweating and have to puke because I just can't stop thinking about negative things in my life. I stress about going to work every day because I just don't want to have to handle any stress.
I get so angry and emotional about everything and my entire life and everything in it is being destroyed! I've tried relaxing exercises, thinking positive, blah blah etc. etc. it's all crap to be honest, nothing works. To me, I just feel like I'm being a realist, but to everyone else it seems I'm a stressed out crazy person and I just can't help myself no matter what I do...sooo..what can I do?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I am in your exact shoes, and am trying to figure that out myself! When things get tough, job related, My emotions get the best of me. I end up reacting too quickly, Wanting a way out and then live with regret later! A lot of it with me is insecurity. It never seemed like much then, but as I get older I realize how IMPORTANT it is to be content with yourself; Never second guessing. The moment you put doubt in your head and think WAY too much, You over analyze; reading into things too deeply, and think the WORST. Panic sets in, and suddenly you're at a standstill, afraid to make your next move. I say to myself, thinking the worst will prepare me for the worst, and it's a crock of b/s, because when I'm done, I'm always worrying about something else. I think I just need to turn my mind off, Like that Jim Carey movie, "Spotless mind", So awesome would that be. lol.
