Feeling stressed better? Help is customized on line therapy that offers video phone and even live chat sessions with a therapist. See if better help can help lower your stress.

Have you ever been confronted with the fact that you were in over your head, or that you had no idea what you were doing, or that you thought you were more skilled at something than you actually were?
