Feel the Burn

Here's what happens when you don't handle stress properly:

The drawing on the right is where I desperately need to get back to.



This is a problem I last had 7 years ago when I graduated from college and couldn't go to the ceremony because the only time I wasn't in pain was when I was laying down on my stomach with my arms clenched against my chest. Turns out that was the worst posture possible. In any case, my parents dragged me away that day and forced me to see a doctor.
Doctor: You've got hives too?!?! You're one stressed out kid.
Carla: I don't feel stressed out at all.
Doctor: Maybe you should start. It'd probably help your stomach.

I hate this. Mostly because I can't have coffee which is resulting in the sleepiest, most sluggish state I've been in since my codeine christmas.
