Grammar

are these correct?

Hi my dears,
please tell me how can I use "face(v)"in this sentence:
I tried to deal with whatever problems we FACED.
Also should we use plural or singular form of "to be" in sentences like this one:
Almost everything that (are/is) new for me can cause me feel really worried.
And what about these sentences,Do I use idioms correctly:
1)I started to get cold feet on the day of my exam.
2)My parent told me to let my hair down, but I couldn't.
In addition,If you don't mind please tell me if I had any mistakes in my post.
Thanks in advance.

If you got cold feet before the exam, you questioned whether taking it was a good idea in the first place. It doesn't just mean that you were nervous. You had doubt that you should take it at all.

virginia274what idiom I can use for the second one
I can't think of one just now, but your original sentence says that your parents told you to let go of your inhibitions, to 'go wild' perhaps, which seemed odd to me, because parents don't usually give that kind of advice.

How about "My parents told me to go easier on myself"? Or "not to get so wound up over things."

I actually do have to say that to one of my kids, who stresses herself out.

Sounds good. Also "not to get so worked up over things", which I'm more familiar with than the version with "wound".
