Drowning

I sometimes feel overwhelmingly suffocated by circumstances beyond my control- the emotions of people around me, the sensation of incompetence at work, the situations I fall into inadvertently.

I get so angry with myself that I get so stressed, and then I worry and worry and worry about how I'm going to fix things. It's like a horrible combination of nerve-wracking suspense and breath-shortening anticipation.

Hate this tenseness bubbling inside me.
