Does anyone have those moments where one small inconvenience can literally bring you to a full blown scream-cry. Like traffic, not being able to pick something up the right way, fumbling with an old phone charger, or spilling a drink in the car. Like literally the saying crying over spilled milk I noticed on days when my anxiety is really bad I’m one minor inconvenience away from fucking LOSING it and crying like a toddler in a supermarket.

Literally!!! Like ocd, the stress of life and then those tiny little tragedies like dropping your phone on the concrete; those are the moments I have no patience for.

@ThreeLittleBirds Yes. OCD is pretty much mentally exhausting, but people outside your mind can’t really see how bad it is, so dealing with that PLUS normal daily problems is a lot. And crying over little things is just the result of all that.

Yes!!! Everyone else seems so stable and I’m just a ball of emotions trapped in a sealed soda can that’s been shaken. And the moments when I lose it over something small it’s like cracking the seal and it all comes roaring out in the form of me as a very broken, sobbing mess. I can wait to break down when I’m in my car or my room but when I do it’s like I’m letting everything out

@ThreeLittleBirds Ok, I just watched this on yt and it was really quite sweet.. and a bit funny since you just mentioned you feel like a sodapop. https://youtu.be/8JdjEgZ4SC0 I'll be imagining my distress and panic the same way.

@ThreeLittleBirds Let me know if you like it

@blondehairyKrishna Bro that was so pure and calming. No one really talks about anger. , Being anxious 24/7 makes me a pissed off person I think. What that guy said was so true, you have to be mindful of your anger. Tonight I was having a hard time and wasn’t as nice to my family as I could have been. It’s not their fault. I need to remember that the pressure in the bottle goes down if I give myself some time and just close my mouth. That was powerful, thank you for sharing.

Not having control at all times and being stressed is half the battle of getting through the day. And people don’t realize that when you’re carrying the wait of the world on your shoulders a small inconvenience can feel like the end of the world; almost to the point where you could just lay down and give up on life. And it can be over something as silly as losing your keys and finding them where you already looked. Haha Like stress can build up.

@ThreeLittleBirds I totally feel you. But keep your head up, its not the end if the world, even if it feels like it! Life is worth it, even with all the stress. You’ll get through this!

Yes!! You get it!! Lol like the absolute explosion of all the stress we’re holding on to just comes out at the slightest of frustrations and I can’t explain it to anyone who doesn’t suffer from anxiety disorders. It’s like we’re being strong so much of the time that our minds have to just throw a fit to get that toxic energy out of us.

I’m glad I’m not alone in this I was starting to wonder if I was just being dramatic but really it’s just the mind reaching a stress level and just releasing the energy in the form of tears and anger. It’s always funny when I look back like wow spilling my drink made me cry but in the moment I actually felt so helpless and frustrated

@ThreeLittleBirds Yeah, old friend used to tell me I’m not being dramatic. It’s just pent up and released.
