She's just a bit of a worry wart (it's genetic) and she got a few pieces of bad news. Like, our grandmother couldn't make it. Some of her friends who were super pregnant couldn't make it. One of her bridesmaids was super pregnant and couldn't find a dress that worked with the color scheme. \n\nShe got so fed up with things that she finally starting saying \"I just feel like everything is a disaster\", which was a huge buzzkill for all the friends and family that WERE attending. And WERE paying a lot of money to travel from west coast to east coast to be there. Not to mention her fiance, who was trying to be excited but had a tough time since she was always so bummed.\n\nSo I asked her to list 3 things about the wedding that she was excited about. It took her a while to think of something, so I started. I listed things like: the father/daughter dance, the joint toast I and our other sis were gonna make, the cake toppers (adorable), the venue, etc. \n\nEventually she started listing things too. The next thing I knew we had a list of almost 100 things she was excited about. I hung up with her and later talked to her fiance, who said she really turned around after that.\n\nPoint of the story is, if you change your perspective on a situation, even if it's a fake-it-till-you-make-it kinda change, it will help turn things around for you.\n\n\n", "Worrying is fine but if you find yourself feeling this way most of the time, it may be a bigger issue.

I just want to elaborate on it a bit.\n\nWorrying all the time runs in my family (I inherited or learned it, sure of that). \n\nI once read a quote that helped me tremendously. It went something like this: \"worrying is a waste of imagination.\" What I took from that is that when we worry we are imaging scenarios that most likely will never happen. We create these imaginary stories in our mind and then worry about those \"stories\" that have never occurred and probably never will. It's an endless cycle. (how many of the things you worry about have actually happened they way you thought they would)? If we \"imagine\" positive things this can be inspirational, instead of dreadful.\n\nI will say there has been one period in my life that it was so overwhelming that I went to a doctor for it. I had no idea it was just the worry (all mentally created by me) that was causing so many physical problems. Anxiety, breathing issues (scary), heart pains, uncontrollable hyperventilation, the list goes on. Once I got thru that rough time period the physical problems went away. \n\nWhat I am getting at...is life happens to all of us. You are not alone, everyone has their issues to deal with. People like us just need to learn how to focus on the good. Imagine the positive things, know that worry only brings you discomfort. It does nothing to help you, does not prepare you (even though it feels like you are preparing; you are not because the thing you are worried about will most likely not happen the way you think it will).\n\nFor me, when I realize I am overly worried about something I really focus on the positive. I know this can sound difficult at first, yet there are positive outcomes we can think about instead.\n\nI have been mentally training myself for some time now (I still work on it all the time) it has gotten better, lots better! \n\nWishing you the best! (I will not worry about if I posted something wrong or right, it just is! Okay I will think about, just not worry about it)! :)", "Download some simple game on your phone (or play on online on your computer). It can be any game that takes a bit of thinking but is not too heavy on strategy of long-term planning. The point is to give yourself something distracting to do that ends the cycle of negative thoughts but that you can also put aside when your thoughts are back on track. \n\nAnother strategy is to smile. We usually think our mood determines our expressions, but it works the other way around too. Force a smile for awhile and you'll start feeling it. ", "I think if youre stuck in like a negative cycle, try and be positive. like if im feeling negative and am doing homework I could see it as ughh 2 more questions, or yay two more questions and its done. Try and tap into that and you will see things from a better perspective and see solutions rather than dwelling on the problems.", "I deal with that gut feeling by breaking down the problem, think strongly about whether it really is a problem or I'm just over thinking, find out the \"worst case\" scenario and figure out why I think it's a problem. Talk to a friend, do they agree I could be in trouble?\n\nExample: Worried I'll get fired. Really break it down, what did I do? Has anyone ever been fired for this? Have I already had 3 written warnings? I can't legally be fired unless I've had 3 written warnings or have breached my contract. Maybe I'll ask someone at work if they think I'll be fired.\n\nI find talking to someone I think is a great way to calm down.

Helk even 15+. Put yourself there mentally. Think how insignificant this will be. If it won't be I'd be worried. ", "There are three ways I deal with worrying:\n\n- I ask myself if there is anything I can do at this moment to affect the outcome of what I am worried about. If yes, then do something. If no, then acknowledge that worrying about it does nothing but cause stress and make myself ill. Realize that worrying is an exercise in futility. It still takes a lot of practice to get your mind to stop focusing on worries, but at least knowing it is pointless helps.\n\n- I also sometimes ask myself what is the true worst case scenario and picture it. This only works when you are worried about something insignificant. Like if I am super stressed about a meeting, I acknowledge worst case scenario the meeting goes poorly (assuming my job or a client isn't on the line).\n\n- Lastly, I ask myself will the outcome have a significant impact on my life 6 months from now. Usually the answer is no. Even with the seemingly big stuff, often the answer is no. If my boyfriend breaks up with me, odds are I will be over it and dating again. If I lost my job, decent chance I'll have a new one. Stuff to do with pregnancy, marriage or really long term relationships, and death obviously don't work with this method.", "It's such a relief when you can take a deep breath and let all that worrying stuff go right out the window. Just keep in mind that you can only do your best and then the rest is out of your control. Not everyone can do this so it may be in your best interest to talk to a professional.

It just adds pressure and potential drama to your work and personal life if its not a super serious thing. \nAlso, try to keep it a professional environment at work. Ex: don't discuss your relationship at work (which is kind of a given) and never talk about the issues or anything you may be having with other co workers if they do know. This just creates an even more hostile environment for everyone.\nOverall it depends on the two people involved. We worked together for quite a bit after, and it was hard sometimes, but you can deal.

I'm obviously not a science person. ", "1) Get up and eat. Your rhythm is set by the first meal you have this trick can also be used for jetlag.\n\n2) Eat low Glycemic Load meals, especially in the evenings. Pretend you have diabetes (it may actually prevent it). Replace 2/3 of your rice/bread/pasta with a vegetable like broccoli and stick to wholegrain and browns for the remainder. This is good advice in general for a diet as the more you want to eat the lower on the Glycemic Index you must go (and the healthier food becomes generally). Don't have starches/carbs with your evening meal and avoid sugars. Cauliflower rice serves a good substitute. The cravings will subside as your insulin response normalizes. \n\n3) If you can't drag yourself out of bed get some blue light into you. Turn on your laptop or phone and try and sit in near your face, or open a blind. Get rid of all blue light in the evenings using fl.ux and don't use blue spectrum lights in your bedroom.\n\n4) Practice sleep hygene (look it up) namely keeping a dark quiet space to sleep in. \n\n5) Go camping. I don't know why but if I go camping I always go to bed super early because there is nothing to do. Spend a week in the bush no phones/laptops after dark and you will be surprised how quickly you start seeing the sun rise. \n\n6) Incase above doesn't work: Get a job. Have kids. Get a dog.

You ought to be able to get to a normal schedule in a week.\n\n* Speaking of alarms, definitely set an alarm for every morning, including weekends (My weekend alarm is an hour later, but I still get up before it).\n\n* Don't eat (especially a heavy meal) for at least a half hour before bedtime. Speaking of eating, fasting is not a good idea (contrary to other comments). You want to have a set eating time for dinner, but don't stress out about hitting it at the exact same time every day (you'll notice your body getting hungry within a half hour of this time every day if you're doing it right).\n\n* Go to sleep when you're tired, not at a certain bed time.\n\n* Wake up at the same time every day (once you've established a sleeping schedule). \n\n* Try going for a walk (not heavy exercise) in a new place every day. Nothing big, just 15 minutes, any time of the day that works. This will activate new neural patterns which will help with getting to deeper REM sleep.\n\n* Avoid alcohol and drugs until you get into a cycle you're comfortable with. This sort of includes caffeine, but it's OK to drink coffee/tea before 4pm (unless it's not: pay attention to your body signals).\n\n* Use the sun to help you get up once your cycle is established. I had no sunlight where I was living, so I actually had a full spectrum light on a timer. If there is sun, then open the blinds slightly before you go to bed.\n\n* Have a reason to get up. Find a local park or coffee house where you can socialize with other early risers. Or just find a quiet spot to prepare yourself for the day. This is key for giving yourself that last boost out of bed.\n\nAnd my #1 tip for getting to sleep (because falling asleep has usually been my issue):\n\n* Tell yourself to stay awake. Telling yourself to fall asleep puts your body into a panic state which will keep you up longer. \n\nHope these tips help. Send me a PM any time if you want more advice. The key thing is to take it easy and read your body signals. \n\n\nSource: Cognitive Science grad who's been through this exact situation. ", "Sound like you have moderate to severe [DSPD](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder) depending on how tired you feel during the day. \n\nAs someone in sleep research my advice is: \n1. Avoid light in the evenings, especially close to bedtime. I'm betting that this is your problem. Blue light (like that from your computer and cell phone screen) prevents your melatonin levels from rising as they normally should. Effectively, your body is treating that light as \"oh it's still daytime! No sleepiness for you just yet!\" You'll be amazed at the difference this small change can make with when you feel sleepy. \n2. Set a consistent sleep/wake time and stick to it. For instance, go to bed at at a time closer to when you would like to feel sleepy. If you aren't falling asleep, do something not mentally taxing in low light like reading a book (NOT cell phone or interneting). \n3. Aim for at least 8-9 hours in bed. Popular knowledge is WAY behind the science of sleep right now and the 6-8 hour recommendation is more like \"what you can survive on\" rather than \"what you need to function like a normal human being.\" \n4. Have an alarm wake you up at your desired time, then get into bright light as soon as possible. Light acts as a zeitgieber and will help reset your circadian rhythm. Over time, this will make it easier to both go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. \n5. Do not nap. The first day will be hard, but napping will just perpetuate the problem. \n6. If you can't give up internet in the evenings, I recommend using [flux](http://justgetflux.com/) which adjusts your screen color with the time of day. But seriously, give up internet in the evenings. \n\ntl;dr go [here](http://www.sleepfoundation.org/article/sleep-topics/healthy-sleep-tips) for general healthy sleep tips.

In my opinion it´s comparable with jet-lags.\nHow about these ones: \n- Staying awake a whole night until you´re at 10 in the evening so tired, that you have to sleep. If you wake up early hopefully you are tired again in the evening\n- sleeping pills are also helpfull if you can´t sleep in the early evening. Try to figure out what else can help you (sun in the morning, a dark room in the evening, a sleeping room without pc, tv, washing-mashine etc.)\n- search the roots. sleeping problems are one of the highest symptoms of psychic problems. talk to a doc (maybe some social worker/psychologist that could hep you). asking is never dumb.", "Reseting your sleep schedule is not a herculean task. It is as simple as having the willpower to undergo one day of unpleasantness. It is on you to do this, not some drug or concoction of retardedness.\n\nI regularly swap my sleep schedule around due to my profession. When I say regularly, I mean that I'm hardly ever on the same schedule for more than two weeks. My swap is from days to nights, then back. \n\nThe method I use, which may or may not work for you, is to fast for 12+ hours on the day that I want to flip my schedule. Once I've eaten after my fast I become incredibly tired. I time it such that the onset of sleepiness coincides with my new bedtime.

I would typically go to bed at 4am during summer break. A few days before classes started I would make sure I would fall asleep at an earlier time by waking up at 6am each day and trying to fall asleep by 11pm. After a few days this usually works. Set a target for when you want to wake up in the morning and stick to it for a few days. Make sure you try to get your 8 hours before that time. I've found that making sure you need sleep helps, I do this by being especially active. More difficult exercise, hiking, fixing the car, etc, things that get you tired. A day drinking at the beach, or drinking anywhere, look back and think of things you do that make you tired. Do those things a lot when you need to fall asleep earlier.

I had a professor compliment me on discussion preparedness on a book I had read maybe half of using this method. \n\nThat being said, it might not be an effective technique if you're only getting quizzed on a few chapters and not the whole book.

I also picked up this habit which took me years to break; which is probably why I now find it so annoying. I can only image the opinions that others had of me years ago. \n\nso here's how I did it. \n\n* Ask yourself if you comment will have a positive impact on the overall conversation. Having an opinion is not bad or wrong, but if your comment is not going to add to the conversation consider keeping it to yourself. \n\n* Find another outlet for that side of your personality. Places like Reddit are good for having an unfiltered opinion where you can remain more anonymous. \n\n* The hardest, is to really wait until someone finished fully speaking and not interrupting before they finish their thought because you have already formulated your response. I found this to be (and continues to be) the hardest thing. It means that you have wait 2-3 seconds after a person finished speaking before instinctively responding.

That way, you have a date-stamped record of her bullshit when her day comes.\n\n* Be direct when dealing with her.

No reason is required. \n\nThey can ASK conversationally, but you are not required to give them a reason. \n\nI always used the generic reply, \"I have found a position more suitable for my career advancement path.\"", "It depends a ton on the industry, of course, plus your employment experience. My advice here assumes that you haven't had a horrible time of it, you're not worried about getting \"screwed\" by the company you're leaving, and you work in a professional capacity.\n\n1. Give as much notice as possible. I don't know where the \"two week\" standard came from, but I've never worked in a position where it would have been enough to wrap up my projects and pass things off to someone else. You don't want to be remembered as the employee who bailed in the middle of a major project. Demonstrate that you're committed to finishing as many tasks as possible and making the transition as easy as possible.\n\n2. Offer to be available for questions after you leave, and leave a number and e-mail address where your replacement can contact you.\n\n3. Organize your files as thoroughly as possible for your replacement.\n\n4. If and only if you work for the type of organization where this would be remotely possible, ask the IT staff if they can forward your e-mails to a personal address for a few months after you leave. Either way, set up an automatic reply e-mail as soon as possible announcing your departure and offering both an alternate address for contacting you (if they want you) and an alternate person at the organization for people to contact (if they want the person in your position).\n\n4. From the moment you decide to leave, don't say anything bad about anyone or anything. Your new job may fall through, and you may have to come crawling back. Even if you don't, you want to leave a positive impression; some of these people might be your co-workers or supervisors in a different organization some day. You might be in a profession where word travels fast. No bad-mouthing. No revenge. No telling the third-floor secretary that you've always loved her. Be polite, positive, and professional. You're not leaving because you hate the place; you're leaving because the new job better aligns with your career goals, or allows you to move to the countryside, or whatever.\n\n5. Don't badmouth the organization after you leave, either. Telling your new boss how much you hated your old one reflects worse on you than your old boss. If you meet your old co-workers and they ask if you're happy you left, don't say, \"Oh, God, yes.\" Say, \"There's actually a lot that I miss. Leaving was the best choice for me professionally, but I don't regret my time at [organization] and I'd be happy to work there again if the stars align.\"\n\n", "The professional way to is give 2 weeks notice and detail that in a letter of resignation. This will allow you to cover your butt by have a final date of employment in an email record. ", "If they have been dicks, I like to say \"This is to inform you that I will be concluding my employment with (company) effective (date). I regret that my future career interests will be better served elsewhere.\" \n\nSends the right message and doesn't burn any bridges. ", "I have only quit once. Thankfully I had a personable boss with an open-door policy. I gave her a month verbal notice that I was looking, two weeks written once I \"found\" something (found before I gave verbal,) and then thanked her for the opportunity when it came time to leave. I ran into her in public and she told me I always have a job waiting if I want to come back. \n\nShow your boss respect. Most professional people care a lot more about respect than they do loyalty.", "Don't forget to find a coworker/manager you're on good terms with (even if you're not leaving on good terms) to use as a reference for future jobs - ask them if they're willing to be your reference and then exchange contact info with them before you quit and might possibly never see them again. Also if they're very nice you can ask them to tell any future employers a good reason to quit if you ask (like if you're a student and quit because of a terrible manager like me, ask your reference to say you quit because school was too hard)\nOh and after you quit, try getting a friend to call pretending to be an employer looking for a reference and see what they say, just in case your reference isn't available and your future employer calls the previous company.\n\n\nAlso a fun story - the only time I've ever quit it was a part-time gig in the fitting room of a clothing store because the manager was an absolute tyrant. On the very last day of my two-week notice I took an evening shift for a coworker to have a cushion of cash when I left. So I'm assisting a customer and the manager pulls me aside with an iPad open to a program I'd never seen before and starts telling me that tomorrow they were going to start this new digital checkout service thing and I needed to be trained for it right then and there. I just kind of looked at the tablet, looked at the manager and said \"You know today is the end of my two week's notice right?\" and this idiot just agreed and then immediately started to try to teach me the program. Luckily the customer looked over at me for assistance again and I just slipped away from the manager unnoticed while she was still explaining the program.
