Meltdown!!!

[TylerBrock]

Today stressed me out horribly. I examined the cup explanation by anthony which gave me a better understanding of what happened to me today. It was easy at first, get up and dressed, tend to my social networking, coffee and out the door. This was at 5:00 am. I got onto the bus and was seated across the isle from 2 people who despise me (the feeling is mutual, although I could care less). They stared at me for the entire ride. This small detail caused my cup to overflow, and it was only 7:00am. Therest of my day was slow and irritating, riddled with anxiety attacks triggered by details unseen by those who do not live with such troubles. By 5 pm I was so distressed that I went home and slept. I just got up and I'm feeling irritable. Does this happen to anyone else? Or am I losing my marbles?

Tyler, I've found myself in the habit now of looking at the clock and noting when I feel that my cup has overflowed for the day. Made it to 4pm once, thought that was freakin' awesome. Today, I didn't make it to 7am.

Like you, I feel like I'm loosing my marbles most days. The cup explanation does help and I try to do things to empty a bit of it as the day goes on because I just know some idiot is going to do something to come along and top it off.

Takes me back to when I was a teenager waitressing in a small country diner. All the farmers would come in for their coffee, and I often found myself just walking around with a pot asking, "Can I top that off for ya?" Now, when something stupid happens, I find myself saying that out loud really sarcastically, and then answering myself, "Hell no, get that crap away from me damnit!"

People need to stay the hell away from my cup already. I hope you make it to at least 10pm tomorrow.
