overwhelming frustration

Post Reply New Topic

For the past few weeks i have been very frustrated again.
I get frustrated and annoyed from small things that normally wouldn't bother me this much.

It hasn't yet lead to a meltdown, but it has gotten close.

I am wondering what i could do since it is getting difficult to handle school and being at home (keep fighting with parents).

If that was me, odds are that I wasn't getting enough sleep, which can turn into a positive feedback loop.

likewise.

when precious little "people" let their dogs off leash, then act like "she's so cute!", it frustrates me.
when someone's impatient when i am on the toilet, it frustrates me.
when someone looks me up and down and rolls her eyes, it frustrates me.
when i see a group of precious little "people" flapping their traps, like every thought and emotion that goes though his/her brain must come out his/her mouth within 10 seconds lest the sky fall down, it frustrates me.

and numerous other examples

Maybe some part of your subconscious is chewing on something? Or maybe your sensitivity to the world is extra high, and you're perceiving difficult things about the world that you usually manage to supress ignore? Or both at the same time?

Sometimes I find that periods of extra frustration and sensitivity end with me learning an internal lesson... realizing some truth about myself or others, that sort of thing.

Just go easy on yourself, and accept the part of yourself that's perceiving things that could be better about the world!

From experience, something that might work for you is wearing headphones. Sniffs and coughs make me incredibly agitated, blasting audio isn't perfect but it's a rough and ready fix.

Go through this list and I think you will be fine:

1. Make sure you get enough sleep, try to sleep and wake up at alarm
2. Eat well
3. Maintain personal and residential hygience
4. Take a walk/exercise/yoga every day
5. Hang out with friends/family/dogs/cats whatever you have

Try asking peers at your school {who are in the same class or classes} as you if you can study with them. If you are rejected by your peers, do not become obsessed with being rejected. Instead, try to forget about the rejection and try to write your feelings in a journal.

From a personal perspective, my mother often provokes anxiety attacks in me because like you, I get frustrated over small things that my mom gets angry about. An example of my mom's behavior is whenever I put the dishes away, sometimes I put the dishes back in the wrong places. This causes my mom to address me and/or my sister using insults.

To close this, would you like to PM with me about your frustrations?

Exercise, run, walk, cycle, helps me

You're going to school and fighting with your parents? I don't know your age or sex but either way it seems immediately likely to me (if you at least 13 years old) that your hormones have something to do with it!
Find music or games to vent with, you can't always be patient with people..but if can be contrite and apologetic when needed you can probably maintain a pretty chill existence with your folks. Hang in there! Its natural!
