Minor inconveniences that make me feel like my life’s falling apart.

[DaddysMonkey]

……. Hi. *waves* 

 

So I consider myself to be a not dramatic person depending on the circumstances. I have a lot of responsibility at work and at home , so I typically handle stress really well.. it just boils over in the most random places I guess. I can handle all kinds of stuff , our card reader not working , having tons of people come in at once while this happens and I’m alone , boss won’t answer the phone , dealing with peoples problems all day every day let alone the extreme high pain tolerance. 
 

The funny part to me anyways… is handling all of the stress I do like a champion , but falling apart at the slightest inconvenience in my life like it’s actually effecting me in the long run. When I melt down , I know it’s not really about the minor inconvenience but rather all my bubbled up nerves. 
 

What made me think of this ? ONE OF THE BIGGEST INCONVENIENCES KNOWN TO MONKEYS. 
 

I was getting all settled for my morning routine , but @Expired came over last night and I didn’t eat much or sleep much. Typically I wake up very easy , but I laid in bed for an extra fifteen minutes. Well that threw off my pooping schedule. (I’m a very scheduled pooper and I like it that way get off my back.) So , I get all comfy in the bathtub… get my bath bomb going , have my little set up and phone to lurk on the forum… then my tummy grumbles. I have to poop. 
 

I got out of the tub , soaking wet , getting cold from the air hitting my wet skin so I start shivering , head and body covered in bubbles.. grumbling to myself how the universe hates me so much that it ruins my nice bath time. I looked like a shaky little bubble monster poopin on the toilet 😡 

 

What are some minor inconveniences that makes you so so irritated , or make you feel like your life is in shambles when literally everything is fine ? 
 

Just a couple more of mine :

-When I ask for fruit toppings on a drink AND THEY DONT FUCKIN PUT ANY ! WHY ?!? 
 

-When I spend over an hour wet mopping the hardwood and Lector goes potty and flings litter all over the clean floor. 
 

-When I prep an entire meal and am ready to cook…. Only to realize the oven was never pre heated. 
 

-When some jackass is on their phone and sit at a green light , then only move in time so they can get past and you get hit with a red light again. 
 

-When I get French fries out at a restaurant or fast food place and they give me COLD GOD DAMN FRENCH FRIES ?! BURN IN HELL ! 
 

-My own fault but , when I do laundry and forget to hang dry my bra and it fuckin warps and shrinks in the dryer.

I heard the joke: Call me biodegradable because I break down easy 😅 When that happens to me it's a sign that I have been bottling up my thoughts/emotions so any little inconvenience makes me want to burst into tears in the most inappropriate places. I have cried and shouted in my car many times on my way to work. Then it's time to splash water on my face, smile, and carry on. 🥴 What's so difficult is the problem isn't simply ONE thing but MANY little things. I can't pinpoint just one issue to fix. So many things play into my mental health and how I am feeling physically. If I don't keep up on my self-care it will catch up to bite me in the butt. 😫 Then something as simple as my shirt getting caught on the door handle makes me so upset. It's like the universe grabbing me and telling me to get a grip and slow down, haha!! I work in healthcare with senior clients in their homes and they get mad at me for speeding around doing everything. They keep telling me to slow down and relax! 😅 Meditation and practicing mindfulness really helps me with this. I suck at it but that's why I need it the most.

 

p.s. The image you gave of yourself being a shaky little bubble monster pooping on the toilet was funny. 😂 Sorry for laughing. It reminded me when I had major surgery a few months ago and sleeping through the night was difficult because laying down was painful. When I had finally gotten to sleep I woke up FREEZIN cold (couldn't shift the blankets properly to cover me) and I had to pee REALLY BAD. LOL I was still in so much pain and stiff while I shuffled to the bathroom shivering like this pathetic creature. 😖 It just felt miserable!!

Oh, I can sympathize with this. When my stress builds up, the smallest things will make me irate. Granted, I do have anger issues, but still. Also, not much of a cryer…but some days these small things are enough to bring that on.

Heres a few off the top of my head:

When I pick something to eat, only to go into the kitchen and find out I don’t have what I need to make it.

When I get out of the shower and realize I forgot my towel.

When I do a load of laundry and go to fold it only to realize I forgot the item of clothing I wanted to wash and wear. 

When I clean my cat’s litter box and they immediately go into it and poop.

When my blankets get messed up in the middle of the night and I can’t fix them without getting out of bed. 
 

I always try to talk myself down when it happens. Reminding myself it’s not that bad, but sometimes the brain just won’t accept that.

“I heard the joke: Call me biodegradable because I break down easy 😅 When that happens to me it's a sign that I have been bottling up my thoughts/emotions so any little inconvenience makes me want to burst into tears in the most inappropriate places.” 

The joke definitely made me smile ! Lol 

 

“I work in healthcare with senior clients in their homes and they get mad at me for speeding around doing everything. They keep telling me to slow down and relax! 😅 Meditation and practicing mindfulness really helps me with this. I suck at it but that's why I need it the most.”

 

While I don’t work in healthcare , this is extremely relatable for me ! Always go go go go , then sucking at the kind of stuff I need. It’s nice to have something to relate to people with and laugh about stuff that’s normally so aggravating ! Heh ! 
 

“When I get out of the shower and realize I forgot my towel.

When I do a load of laundry and go to fold it only to realize I forgot the item of clothing I wanted to wash and wear.”

 

OH MY GOD !!!! Both of these are the bane of my existence 3: Anything related to unwanted coldness or wetness , or not having clothes I need / want sends me into oblivion. 
 

“When my stress builds up, the smallest things will make me irate. Granted, I do have anger issues, but still. Also, not much of a cryer…but some days these small things are enough to bring that on.”

 

Same , same , same. /: I always feel like such a ween in these moments (not that you are at all) , like usually the anger issues are like a defense mechanism like “Grrrrr I am so angry so this won’t actually effect me.” But getting set over the edge by the tiny things and crying , ugh. My heart goes out to another cryer like myself.
