your frustration level has you close to rage just because a web page button does nothing. In this case it is the "score test" at the end of psychcentral's 10-question emotional quiz. So i will just continue thinking what an immature twit I am since I cant get a score.

Of course it says something about me when I look for a test score to validate/invalidate me. Well at least its not me validating me when I do that cause WE KNOW there is nothing positive going to come from that judge.

Hopefully you guessed by now that the title was being sarcastic. Everything else is true. Names been changed to protect the innocent....blah blah blah

which emoticon do i use for being totally screaming crazy right now?
Thanks for this!

I've had those moments or days and here's a good icons to use It bugs me when I type a long post and accidentally click the wrong key and it completely disappears. Feel free to rant, I think it helps make us feel better. Hope it gets better for you ((calmelame))

Oh ((((((((calmelame)))))))), I know that feeling. I had written many long posts here too and then pressed submit and nothing. And I screamed bloody murder because I had put a lot of time into it.

Then I reasoned it out. I just said to myself, well, perhaps it just wasn't meant to be, maybe too wordy. And then I thought, well I do remember what I said and what it felt like to express it so at the very least I just had another conversation with myself. LOL

I wonder how much of the air we breath contains negetive energy from the thousands of people that rant and scream and so on each minute of the day.
And that reminds me, I have to find a cool day and open the window pretty soon as there has been a lot of stressful ranting going on in my house lately, between my husband dealing with issues and he leaves and then I rant too.

Well at least you took the test, consider it a practice test, cool down think about the questions for a while and make sure you didn't miss something you hadn't thought of.
Then try again and make sure you know how to do it right. Consider it just another opportunity to learn how to deal with yet another disappointment. So is life, we often put out effort and end up being disappointed somehow. It can often be a hit or miss in life.

So as the Byz says, Calm down and try it again when you are in the mood.

I've had days like that before. Sometimes it helps to rationalize that your day can only get better. Of course, it's difficult to be rational at times like that .
I'm sorry that you're having a bad day. I hope that things get easier for you very soon.

whew! so glad it's not just me! it did the same thing to me the other day. Of course I thought the whole world was just out to get me, but then I did calm down and re-test and I will write more about me when I can hit the right button as I have done that one too!
