People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it? (lemmy.ml)

Here recently it seems like everything just gets under my skin so quickly and easily. It's not that I get mad and take it out on others, it's just the fact that I'm constantly annoyed and stressed. Something as simple as the dogs tracking some mud through the house will just ruin my mood. I know some people who would just laugh it off and clean it up. Meanwhile I'll get pissed that I didn't wipe their feet and be mad the entire time I'm cleaning it up. This has nothing to do with the dogs, it just an example. Any number of seemingly insignificant things can trigger me like that. Like forgetting something at the store and having to go back. I would love to be able to go, "well that sucks" and just get over it.

I went on anxiety meds. Changed my life

[โ€“] Katrisia@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Yes. In my case, my mood disorder was causing irritability. Many disorders can cause it (e.g., MDD, BPD, IED).

OP, I'd suggest an appointment with a specialist if everything else has been ruled out; everything else includes bad sleep habits, bad eating habits, physical illnesses, etc.

Op, you may want to take this advice. You might have some level of anxiety that's causing you to react to things in a way that's unhealthy.

Some level of annoyance is to be expected from life but if you're bothered by it, and it seems like you are, look into therapy. It will help you understand where your reactions are coming from and help you deal with it better.

Yes OP. Boof Xanax. Snort heroin. Zen.

What's boof? Is that when you stick it up your butt?

Yep. ๐Ÿ‘
