Obsessive worrying

This is late to realize, but I've realized I'm a really obsessive worrier. It's not really a shock, per se, as even when I was a child, I was really serious. Like, really serious. I was talking with a friend that knew me in elementary school (and middle and now high school too) and she totally thought I was a scary person, and that I was mean and stuff. I don't think I was a scary person; I was just really shy, and quiet. Once I really get to know people though, I (like to) think that I open up. Anyways. The point is that ultimately, I'm a very serious and somber person, though when I'm not, I tend to be on the crazier side.

So I've realized that when I worry, I stress over every single detail. Every detail is exaggerated, and I'm left with an exaggerated image of my task, which looms over me like a looming thing a thick and suffocating cloud ready to descend and choke me if it hasn't already. It's horrible, because I'm sure my system is probably being pumped and flooded with stress hormones or something, which probably isn't very healthy...On the other hand, if the tasks start shrinking, I no longer feel the need to hurry, and I'll be up later than 3 AM or something. On an average night, I'd go to bed around 12 AM, maybe 1 AM?
