You probably have some deep angry feelings that you have never let go. these angry feeling will surface in small thins and they will destroy your health at the end. Expect diabeties, high blood pressure,cancer etc.... and your facial expression will hardened making you so unyouthful and so ugly.
Remember that you have a father that cares for you. that is true that the ennemy is there to spin you around to destroy you. But know that your father cares for you and learn to rest in that thought. Before answering anything deep breathing exercises will help you not to snap. remove toxic people from your mist. Keep real friends that you want to be with that you want to talk to. Make yourself a life that you like with people you like... enjoy the life you like while you can.

 Hey there! It's a bit hard to know what to advise based on the info you've given here. Can I ask - would you say that you are usually an anxious person? I know you feel that you are stressing over everything at the moment - but is this kind of thinking a new thing - or is it usual for you and just getting worse lately?
Lots of people live with anxiety - and it can be heightened at different times - when things get busy at school, when you start dating someone new, if there is stuff going on with your family - that sort of thing. Sometimes when something 'big' is going on/causing stress someone who is generally anxious may respond by becoming stressed about the 'smaller' stuff - and try to get some control over some area of their life at a time when things feel overwhelming. Does that make sense - for example...I may be worried about my sister's health problems but my stress manifests as me stressing about and needing to clean everything in my house - cause if the house is clean I am in controlof something...whereas I can't control what happens with my sister.
Anxiety is something that is very treatable - so if it is that you don;t have to continue to suffer!
Anyway - if you are really feeling worried about your stressing and thinking patterns at the moment there are a couple of things you could try. You could see your GP - who could do an assessment and if need be refer you to a psychologist (you can get seen using your Medicare card now - so no cost to you) OR have a look at the website of The Anxiety Clinic (it is based at the Brain and Mind Research Institute in Sydney) - they specialise in anxiety in young people and have loads of different treatments available.....obviously they would assess whether your 'stressing' is actually problematic first, it may not be! If you're not near there they may be able to put you in touch with an appropriate service near you!
If you can't find the contact details - write me a note and I'll get them for you!
I think if you're worried about it you should get it checked out - if there is something going on you can then get support and treatment - and if there isn't you'll be reassured and hopefully stop worrying!
Good luck! ;-)

 Either there is something deeper on your mind which is causing these niggles or you have some kind of anxiety disorder. Is everything ok in your life in general?? In general I would say the two rules are trying to breath and focus. Take deep breaths and imagine yourself in a relaxing situation and try and block out all other thoughts. Talking to somebody sometimes helps especially if we are dealing with surpressed emotion causing this.
If you have an anixety disorder then the only solution is medical and you should consult your GP and see what they say. I'd try and avoid aniexity meds though because from what they have heard they have side-effects. Try the above and see how you get on with that; good luck :)

(Only assuming this based on your age group that you're 16) Or maybe relationship or friendship problems? What would you define as "small things" that's worrying you? About travelling, it's normal for people to get anxious over it, they could be excited and anxious at the same time. What specifically about travelling is worrying you?
