In Emily Dickinson’s “I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain,” the speaker experiences a mind that seems to work against her. Sometimes our own thoughts can make a situation feel worse than it actually is. Describe a time when overthinking, worrying, or doubting yourself affected the way you handled a situation. What did you learn from the experience?

One time when I was overthinking, worrying, or doubting myself was when I was really stressed with schoolwork and finals last year. I learned to calm down and take it peice by peice to get work done and study. I did well on tests and got all my school work done aswell as learning a valuable lesson. That's how I can relate to the poem.
