Probably because you not taking active measures to keep it under control. This can take time in learning how to cope.
Stress is a lot to handle. Sometimes we are stresses because we can't handle the load thats on our plate. Put the most important things first and let the rest fall where they may.
Stress is a natural response to a situation that you don't want to be in. It is natural that we find it difficult to handle.
A lot of people have trouble dealing with stress. Some are more prone to chronic stress than others. The effects are numerous on the body and mind. It makes emotions hard to manage and thoughts difficult to control. Perhaps you can handle light stress, but major problems can be unbearable to most. It may just be that you haven't had the time to see yourself come through the other side enough to build confidence that you can handle stressful situations. Our perception of ourselves has a major impact on what we go through and how we handle a situation. Building confidence and self-esteem slowly is a process that takes some time. Yet, with more confidence, you'll find that you are able to adapt to things easier, and perhaps stressful situations will be easier to handle later on.
I think you can handle it but you just aren't sure how to yet! My advice is to take a deep breath and take small steps at a time to overcome it!

Sometimes situations are over whelming and our body does not know how to properly handle it. It's not your fault but you must find a way to eliminate that stress and find ways to cope.
You may not be able to handle stressful situations because they are too much for you to handle all at once. Maybe try to break up the problem and solve little parts, to manage it easier.
Stressful situations are.. well.. stressful! So, those kinds of situations are often very hard for people to handle and it's okay if you have trouble with that.
It may be that you simply don't have the experience. If you reflect on each stressful situation, you might be able to find out different approaches you could try next time.
Maybe it's not that you not, But that you just don't know how. It's a very hard talent to teach yourself. You can do it with positive vibes and the right amount of support with medication if needed. also if you need someone to talk too, I volunteer.

You may have an anxiety disorder that causes your anxiety to get worse and not allow you to think properly during stressful situations. Some people can take medication to help handle their stress.
Everyone deals with situations differently, some can handle it easier than others. It's perfectly okay and normal if you can't handle it at all.

You need support and people to help you until you can manage on your own. Stress can be a pretty big issue for many people but you need to find something that relaxes you.
We have different ways of perceiving situations in our lives and sometime the way we look at a certain situation makes us stressed. One way to handle this is to learn different ways to calm yourself and a different thought process.
You may feel like you cannot, but believe me, no one can handle your situation better than you. Believe in yourself. Unleash your power. Think about what gives you strength and motivate yourself. The only thing stopping you from going for what you want is a question mark on your own self "Self Doubt." Think of the reason why you want to get out of a particular situation you are in and I am sure you will gather the courage you have within. All you need is a push from yourself, and take the first step. The rest will come to you!
He is preparing you for what he has prepared for you.
