I don't know if anyone else gets like this, but I get super upset and have panic attacks when stuff gets broken around the house. If a light goes out, a toilet runs, the garage door opener dies, an appliance craps out, I obsess over it. I even have nightmares about it.
For example, we have an ongoing problem with the cheap, crappy doors in our house. Three of them have fallen off their hinges, and today it was the one to the guest bathroom. Usually my husband can kinda stick them back into the frame until we can have them repaired, but this one will not go back in, so it's leaning against the wall outside the bathroom, and we're waiting to hear from our nephew as to when he can come fix it.
I'm trying not to freak out. It really doesn't hurt anything to not have that door for a while. We rarely have guests, and when we do it's only people who are basically family to us and can just use the bathroom upstairs.
This is totally not a big deal, but I get derailed big time by stuff like this. I don't know what it is about disruptions to my environment, but I'm very sensitive to them.
Anyone else?
