I'm pissed off at small things.

[Chez Daja]

I'm seriously angry lately.

Why? Lack of sleep, probably. That, mixed with the "joys" of late teenagism are getting to me.

For the past... hm, week, I've been snapping at certain people, been impatient and sick and tired of what I've been doing for the past five/six years.

I can think of a few possible reasons as to why I'm so annoyed at things right now, these including...

• Lack of communication with partner.
• Sick of waiting around.
• Sick of people acting like they care when they don't.
• Lack of sleep.

Right now, I feel everybody should be understanding my pain when I snap at them - and even though that's really wrong and seriously retarded, I can't help it. I have this constant headache right now, and been generally pissy - I'm tired to **** but I only catch 3 - 5 hours of sleep at night and wake up feeling generally horrible.

I feel like my life has no meaning and no importance lately. That's why I'm really trying to stay holding on tight to my dreams by applying at art college and a job.

I'm just bitter and ranting. I know once I get to talk with the boyfriend, I'll be able to sleep, and that'll put me in a better mood.

</end rant.>

Has anyone else been really angry and irritated at small things for a week or so and then gotten over it quickly?

Did you realise WHY you were angry?

Tell me of your similar problems, please!

I don't tend to get angry very easily. I do not really even get angry that off, frustrated definitely. But I'm usually quick to lose those emotions and go back to being normal. I do not know why I am like that. I could be a fight with my sister and I'll be happy five minutes later. *shrugs* It does not make a lot of sense to me.

About the only thing that has been a continual thing for me, is the slight depressive state that I dip into every so often because of my emotional state. I general cover over my feelings from myself and others so that I can function properly. Though that has not been working so well for me when I'm alone and do not have enough going through my mind to keep me busy. It was worse a couple months ago and I have managed to get through most of it. But my mind does dwell on it a lot and I think because it is suppressed right now, I'm easy to break emotionally right now because of it. Though even in spite of that, it is usually just being sad or depressed, not angry.

That is probably not much help for you. I had a pretty boring high school life. The only thing that I worried about was if I would get an A or B in my classes. I did not have a significant other, still don't. And I had a job that I was extremely happy about having. I was pretty boring in high school.

I didn't go to school after age 7, so I grew up quite alone, to be honest. I have depression, but I can't hide it away very well, considering I need to get everything out. I find it impossible to bottle my feelings all of the time.

I dwell on too much, I'd say.

I seriously feel like killing myself lately, but certain things are stopping me from going that far. I don't go to highschool, mainly because I'm too old to even be in highschool. Eh, I suppose I shouldn't taken action earlier on in my life. ._.;.

I hope you feel better about things soon.

I moved around a lot when I was young. By the time I was in sixth grade, I had been to six different schools. The only I had was my sister, which worked out for a while until we both hit the pre-teen ages. Once that happened, things got screwed up and I had to find someone else to be a friend with. Which is pretty difficult since you do not have a connections to the people you are going to school with, who have knew each other since they were like 5 years old. It is rather hard to compete with that.

But yes, depression I would imagine is not very easy to cover up. I have a lot of practice hiddening my real self, so I guess it is only natural that I hide everything else as well. Though it does bottle it up. I do not really have anything to release on.

I would say that releasing the emotions would be a better method than what I do. Since physically and mentally it is probably not healthy what I am doing to myself. And I will probably explode on someone one of these days, for which I will regret doing so to said person for the rest of my life. But that is the path that I have choosen. All I can do is try to get over it and improve myself, so that does not happen.

And I do hope I can get over my current situation as well. It is a little too long and involved to go over here. But its in my journal, since that is what I write about lately.

[OmniTense]

The Taoist in me tells me that anger is to be had with the joy. But it is a feeling that can be calmed by meditation and introspective thinking.

Don't act on small frustrations, remember that they are only small frustrations. If they are major issues, then calm yourself and realize that you can only influence the outcome to a limited degree and do your best.

In the end, you will not have anymore bad days then you will have good days. Remember! Nothing in the world is so terrible that misguided action cannot make it worse!

^Very true, but eh... I guess I've been like this for a week or two. Having hardly slept for a month has made me irrational and impulsive.

Meditation works ocassionally, but a lot of the time, I just can't be bothered to sit there and do it... I know, I know, I'm a terrible person, but still.

Last night, I kept seeing people going and coming back from idle on AIM, and I wanted to punch one of them. Then it my boyfriend who was going back and forth from AIM, and I felt nervous and uncomfortable.

As you can tell, I've really lacked sleep, hahah...

Anyway, I had three drinks tonight, and I'm feeling a bit drowsy. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep, considering I've consumed a little alcohol. (On the other hand, that may also just be become I've been so tired for so long.)

'You're sitting in my ****ing chair. Put Neighbours on now. Put it on, asshole. DO YOU KNOW HOW TIRED I AM YOU LITTLE SHIT? NO, I WILL NOT CEASE SMOKING. **** off. Just **** off. All of you. Muffin, you furry shit, get off me. Just **** off and die. Presently. Thanks.'


This is what greets my family when I get in most days from college. My average daily sleep time of 3-5 hours is making me a terrible person to live with at the moment. Seriously. I'd have slapped me several times over by now.

Getting sleep is the main thing, I think. If only I knew how...so yeah, I can't offer any advice on how to stop snapping, since my life is spent doing just that at the moment.

Good luck anyway

Lol...you're NOT a terrible person. I barely meditate anymore either ... (Only when I take a nice long bath)
BTW, have a happy Hooch dream! Maybe you'll wake up with a big happy attitude and no hangover! *crosses fingers for you* might have one myself...

Govinda...YOU SCARE ME!!! You sound like a big meany lol

[Govinda]

Be afraid, OmniTense...not really. Just don't get between myself, Neighbours and the kettle between 5 and 6 p.m.

Meditation's cool. I went through a phase of doing it, balancing a bit of quartz on my head. I really should do it more; gives you space to think.

Dancing's good too, Chez. It lets it all out. Put on a big wavy skirt, you know, the kind that goes out in a big circle when you spin around. Put on a song you love, make sure you're alone (that's important) and just let it all out. Spin around and sing. Or maybe that's just me, I don't know. I know you're into Hypocrisy; you could try with them.

Also, if you do it for long enough, it completely knackers you and makes sleep easier. You could try taking a lavender bath before bedtime, maybe? That's always relaxing, gives you space to think once again, and gets you ready to sleep. Or drink Ovaltine or something malty, with milk. Don't hold me to any of this, by the way, I'm Premier Isomniac...haha. Oh, for my bed.

[Neo Necron]

Yeah, I can get like this. Normally I'm a happy person, not irritated easily at all. However, it takes one stressful thing to make everything else in my life seem that tiny bit more irritating.

A group project I work on often gets to me. When my group just make a mess of things, or just don't pull their weight and put the whole project in jeopardy, I get stressed. This happened to me a month or so ago. Things just weren't working out for the project. I got home, and just seeing a tiny amount of mess on the worktop in the kitchen caused me to fall into a rant at my housemates, and caused me to be easily irritated by the slightest flaws in people's personalities.

And yeah, tiredness doesn't help at all. Infact, it's quite the catalyst for such emotions. It makes you lazy, and therefore too lazxy to try and sort out your problems, which just leave the problems there for longer and the cycle continues.

I find that a day of doing only what you want really helps. NO work. Lie in. Doss around on the couch, eat whatever you like. Take some time to think and try to do something meditative, it'll help you to think more rationally and then more positively. It really does help.

Hahaha, I smiled at that.

Hahahah, actually, that's not a bad idea; dancing in a wavy skirt to death metal sounds like it could end in hilarity! =D

Also, it's funny you should mention quartz and lavendar baths. I'm a fairly "spiritual" hippy type of person (although it's hard to show online). I have countless amounts of gemstones (and a gemstone for ech of my chakra). I don't part-take in Chi so much these days, only because I feel too stressed to really do a lot of it.

I have a load of oils and plants with lavendar and such, too.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys!




Hahahah, I woke up with a headache today. I'm not sure whether it was because I felt tipsy last night, or because I was just tired. Either way, I told my mother aobut it -- she laughed.

I get over things by realizing that they're just not worth the effort to get mad over. Life is short enough as it is, don't waste it by being in a bad mood over trivial things.

Granted, it took a loooong time for me to be able to come to that conclusion. It'll come, in time.

[MiwaMiwa]

Ugh, I don't get over it so quickly. And instead of rage, it's more like sadness, but that causes me to snap at people easily. Here's my current ordeals:

1. Feeling like my relationship is going down the crapper, even though my boyfriend says "It's not". It's just happening it seems like, and I don't know what to do to fix it.
2. Sitting inside playing games everyday, it's getting to me. i love videogames, but I never get out, and I never do anything else with my boyfriend, hence the relationship going down the crapper.
3. A big situation that I care not to discuss here, that I feel is also pulling my boyfriend and I apart.
4. Freaking car of mine just doesn't want to be normal and work normal.
5. I'm laid off for two months.
6. I'm broke.
7. I freaking hate cold weather.
8. My Spanish is so easy. I know everything and I am forced to sit there for four hours and "relearn" everything I already know and haven't lost.

Those are my current irritations, but, I haven't found a solution for them yet.
