Oct 3rd- Stress and Me

Up until about two to three weeks ago I always thought I was a very low stress person. I have never felt nervous, anxious, or overwhelmed in any subject. Whether it was school work in high school or pressure sports situations or public speaking I never was the type to feel stress. When I was put into what typical people would call a stressful situation I always dealt with it very well. However, a few weeks ago my world got rocked. After being arrested and spending a weekend in jail I haven't felt no stress ever since. Between the constant memories of that weekend as well as having the possible consequences on my mind I constantly nervous and stressed. When I thought it would be difficult to deal with classes and homework and extra curricular activities in college I never thought about dealing with the law as well. Going to class to my lawyers office to a drug test to a lie detector test to having a paper due the next day I feel rushed and overloaded every single day. I want to think that once I go to court and get over my charge I will be back to how I normally feel but my mind is telling me that won't happen. Although I have all this stress I feel like I am handling it the best I can. I write everything down, I have a handy calendar, I check off a to do list, and I still am getting my meals, exercize, and sleep in. I really hope I get through this court date and come out the low stressed relaxed person I always was prior to my arrest.
