I easily get upset....

why do they have to send you your dinner or your breakfast? Do you work different shifts? Do you not get a break that you can go home and eat with your house mates? I know those voices in your head that keep telling you things that are not true or repeating things that are exaggerated is not a fun thing to have. I use to have those thoughts over and over and over. They would keep me up at night at times, thinking I should have done this, I should have side this, she did this to you on purpose. Now I have learned to ignore those thoughts and let them lay in the dark parts of my brain. I am glad you did have an apple to eat. Maybe you can pack a lunch so you do not have this problem again.

You are correct Zelmarq...I understand how you feel and you can always get away by thinking positive and at the same time, when you think that it's time for dinner and they are not sending your share, why not dropping in the kitchen and say hello to everyone and in that way, they'll remember..Take positive action in every negative event. I used to feel that way too and sometimes before, I use to count 1-10 until I feel good..LOL!

At least ya had the apple but I do think I would have gave them what for,for not bringing your dinner!

Hi there Zelmarq, (*Hug) May be you just tired sister,.. Have some rest will you? a massage and aromatheraphy scence will make it go away. I'm happy that i can see your avatar again. You are still here at mylot. Sometime i just wonder here all my friend? i felt lonely but then again, i found you! we were begin mylot as a new member almost at the same time. Have some rest, okay?

It happens with everybody, so please do not feel that it is you only. I also get upset, when the expected things do not turn shape as per my wishes. Getting upset is part of our habit, but the point is - how soon we can make ourselves understand that there are some events in life, some happenings in life, which are not in our control. If anything goes wrong with you, try to be positive and think about the reasons in a positive mannner.If you start thinking negatively...a chain reaction will start and all kinds of negative thoughts and feelings will keep coming into your mind, making you more disturbed. So be positive and be happy and keep smiling even in odd situations...........Best of luck! Deepak

Hi Haze. You really are a sensitive gal. It is known that sensitive people are very talented, and artistic. Take heart! At least you can express yourself, you can internalize, and you know so well how to get something positive from the negatives.:) Take for example how you consider yourself still lucky enough to be enjoying just an apple for dinner. What you felt was normal. My aunt once said that, "hungry people are angry people." Isn't it true? See when you filled your tummy, you got to appreciate that apple. :)

i used to be like you in the past... i get upset and offended really easily over small things and it is not good at all for my health and personality... so i try to change now and be more positive as it is better for my health and my life... i also become a more cheerful person and my friends can accept me better... it is better for my life... take care and have a nice day...

Zelly this is but life and we must live it with the hurdles it brings with it. Living the hurdles is but life. I agree, even I get angry at times but later on I try to cool down and think good things that life brings as well. Don't you think its so beautiful at the end of the day!

I'm glad you are feeling better about it today. This is a good place to vent your frustrations. I would have been upset too. I am also easily upset too. I get mad at times about something and later think "oh that was so silly".

Hi Zelmarq! Could this behavior related to the mental punishment and verbal abuses that you are getting to your job as Customer Relation Officer? I really think that you have a really hard task of being polite and defenseless to the calls (and complaints) that you received everyday. Maybe whenever you get out of your office, your mind is already fed off and full of irritations that small senseless thing would immediately upset you (though I think that your friends negligence of sending your dinner was a big issue). But I see one great thing in your heart, your faith and love to Jesus. So in every struggle and trial that comes into your life, always share it to Jesus. He will give you the necessary strength to pull this off. [i][b]Every temptation that has come your way is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your power to resist; at the time you are tempted he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.[/b][/i]

I can understand the frustration. A hungry man is an angry man. No wonder you can get upset. It helps to think positively :) I too get upset easily. However, nowadays, when I get upset, I will take deep breaths and get in touch with my inner self.

i think you're right to say you try to get rid of this habit. if you easily get upset it can destroy your personality. when one is upset and thinks of bad or evil things, it causes you so much coz you can't think of anything good and will not be able to progress due to the bad thoughts. i think try to control your emotions when something annoying happens to you. sometimes it's a test on you.

you should be careful and calculative to avoid your hot temper. it is not too good for somebody to be upset always, it could lead to heart problems and inacurate decision making. just be compose, be yourself and do the things you like best. since you have apple as dinner it is good, fruits are good for the body but don't it much of it. stay cool. nice day.

you are so right. sitting around & feeling sorry for ourselves doesn't get u anywhere. let your emotions out. don't think it's good to keep everything all bottled up. you'll find this out as u get older. good luck.

it is understandable to be felt that way..since its about food we are talking here..meaning if im hungry and there's no food prepared in the table im sure as hell will be get mad on that..

I think you are far too sensitive Zelmarq. I'm a bit that way too, but as you are probably aware we tend to take some things way too seriourly. On the otherhand sensitivity is a good thing, and from your posts here I know you are someone special. Don;t dwell on the past, move on. Life is too short for us too worry about things we had no control of.

Maybe you should try to see what's causing you to be upset. Like for the dinner that was not sent.. was it the fact that they did not send it? or was it because you wont have dinner? was it because you were too dependent on other people for YOUR food. try to divert your attention. Do something you like. Do what you used to do when you were a kid... ride a carousel, eat ice cream, watch comedy films on DVD, watch cartoons. Try to laugh more, read a good book, go out with friends. i'm sure you'll find something that will get you out of your crankiness.

To be upset is a natural reaction specially when we are stressed or tired. But being upset so often is not good. Maybe you should also do some self examination, think what is wrong with yourself and don't often think of the fault of other people. Anyway, you should have called and ask your housemates about your food. If there wasn't food prepared for you, you have the option to call any food outlet that can deliver your dinner or you can go out and find food yourself. That way you can have a walk and stretch out so you don't have to sulk in your office.

so sorry to hear that you had to eat only an apple for dinner! I'm sure it must have slipped your housemate's minds... poor dear. Could you have given them a ring? Then they could have just walked over with your dinner. Or perhaps they thought you had a hot date and had gone out for your meal. Don't be too affected by this ok? I'm sure they still care for you, just that humans tend to be forgetful at times.

The only thing that upsets me is bad drivers or drivers that cut you off rude, but I don't let my anger stay it's just a temporary moment. If you struggle so much of getting mad easily first off that is not healthy at all and adds more of an unhealthy stress. A lot of times people who give into their selfishness has a mindset they only look at things in their own aspects and don't emphasize the situation that they're in. Negative emotions is of no value so its just a better lesson to learn both me and you that things aren't worth the time to not fuss or get mad at.
