What Made You Angry Today?

Not open for further replies.
I am so angry at the mistakes that I have made in my life. I have to get over this or on top of it somehow because beating myself up is not helpful.
 
High anxiety this morning. Meditated. Found it hard to get going. Up now and dressed. Heading out. Anxiety burning in the base of my neck. Was no present last not so it might be bounce back.
 
It didn't really make me angry but it frustrates me more and more when I see it. You know the little poster things on facebook that people post? The ones that basically say "you should just stop worrying". Those are really starting to frustrate me because while I do have choices and I can choose not to worry there are these little things called PTSD and GAD that I have and they're a little bit bigger than "just stop". Believe me if I could I most definitely would. In fact I would have just stopped a long time ago :shifty:.
 
I get angry when people don't understand PTSD and GAD and MDD. I'm always hypervigilant and anxious. Last week my therapist said "you are in a constant state of hypervigilance". This means I'm ALWAYS reactive.

And what makes me really angry is when people know this but they don't get it and they say "you're so sensitive". It's not sensitive. It's reactivity due to my symptoms. I do not go running off crying when people say things I don't like.

More often than not it triggers my anger. I tend to get angry quickly and easily. And I HATE it when people tell me I'm just being sensitive. There is a big difference between something making me angry or hurting my feelings. I think I know that much about my own emotions.
