Emotional problems.

These caught me in a situation where I could no longer hold my emotions tending

myself to cry in the corner.

Relationship problems. This stressor leads me to question my relationship with my friends, family and
even with the public. Sometimes, I question things up even if everything’s in a good mood. It’s a toxic
one.

Grades. These are my primary stressors in everyday life. I always pressure myself in order to achieve a
good score and grade at the end of the day.

Disappointment. It gives me a lot of stress whenever I can’t achieve something I want or something did
not end up the way I want to be.

Perceptions. I tend to have a toxic perceptions leading me to think that it’s me against the world instead
of, me and the world against the negativities.

Listening to music. The first savior. This is the first aid I can actually get when times are difficult. There
are songs that ca actually communicate with your soul and instantly removes the uneasy feeling.

Doing paintings. One of my favorite things to do. Painting helps me not only to improve my skill but also
to lessen the stress I have.

Writing and Composing songs, depending on my mood. In this activity, I can pour out my stress and I can
even express myself through little words of a song.

Eating sweets. I consider these as my guilty pleasure items. Eating sweets helps me to put myself at ease
and diverting my stress into the chewing activity which instantly drives away the weird feeling I get
whenever I am stressed.

Going out with friends? This is the least activity I can do because my parents are strict, but it sure helps
whenever I have a bad time.

I could say I belong to this quadrant for I can’t take care enough of my well-being and I have difficulties
of opening up to those people close enough to me. Lack of assurance and self-esteem always leads me
to asking permission on things I want to do. I always need guidance. I want to learn on how to be
independent but due to my past relationship, I learn to crawl back underneath the shadow of my
superior. I am the type of person who would likely to go to being a submissive all the time. I don’t have
the courage to say things I want to say for I fear that because of that one word, every bond and
relationship that I have will be taken away from me in an instant.
Managing my stress and loneliness through music helps me a lot. It takes me away from the pain and
reality. It takes me away from the toxicity that I am experiencing. I learned to have fun, but it only takes
a good one moment for me to have one.

I can cope up so easily when I’m in the mood to talk, or sometimes I am in a state where I am in the
mood to do something productive. All the hard work and achievements people see were results of my
anxiety to achieve higher and bigger. I tend to pressure myself to do well in order for me to feel the
satisfaction even if I am sacrificing my sleep, my health and mental health. I am a good pretender, I
think.
