I try... to do things right, to be a good person, etc etc etc.
But this lack of resiliency... feels terrible. I feel like my emotions get bounced around like a ping-pong ball based on anything happening around me. I already am pretty isolated (which actually helps - less likelihood of other peoples' drama affecting me!) but... Today, I got beeped at for no reason in the grocery store parking lot. I got really, really upset. Then, instead of getting groceries, I left... came home... and cried. ![]() ![]() This... doesn't seem normal. I had another incident earlier this week, getting beeped at by someone behind me in a left turn lane. I was being cautious, because there was oncoming traffic and I didn't have the right of way. Why beep? If we wait, there will eventually be a green turn light... I'm not going to throw myself in front of traffic b/c you're beeping... it just makes me more stressed, upset, and freaked out. I kind of hate the world right now. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Have you considered looking into mindfulness? And or, the law of attraction? Both have made major differences in my ability to be calm and not get too worked up. Book for mindfulness is "the power of now" which teaches us to be fully present and in the moment and not to let your mind get away from you. Another good one is "full catastrophe living" by john karat zinnia's Law of attraction book, the secret, says that what you put out there comes back at you. So I would probably just let the person beep their horn and feel sad for them because they clearly aren't going to be in a good place. It also teaches you about how to be happy and how to keep things in your mind that make you feel more happy and calm. |

Thanks for the hugs and kind words.
Emily Fox Seaton - I've actually just started meditating, in the last few months. I was doing it daily for about 2 months (yay) but got sidetracked when things fell apart here (jury duty, air conditioner crisis, etc.). I've been re-starting though. I'll look at the stuff you mentioned, thanks! MickeyCheeky - Thank you! You're always so kind and positive here, I appreciate it! And you're right, the "doing it all on your own" makes it so much harder. I don't really have a lot of real-life support people, so it's hard. I'm also trying neurofeedback, but I'm almost 100 sessions in, and not having the results that I had hoped for ![]() Thanks for listening!!! |

I'm sorry things affect you like that. I hate driving and being honked at too.

Thanks Downandlonely. *hugs* I appreciate it. It feels crazy to be soooo emotional reactive to everything. I'm really hoping that the neurofeedback can help, but we've been doing it for awhile now, and it's not really doing what I hoped.
People driving are crazy. I don't get it. |
