Rant

Ems

I’m so frustrated. I keep having days where one thing goes wrong and it messes up my whole day and makes me feel like the end of the world and everything goes wrong. It makes me want to cry and I feel so irritated and I can feel everything - I can feel my clothes too much and everything is irritating. I hate it so much. Especially as it’s little things that go wrong first which a neurotypical person would be able to ignore or get past, but I always feel so stuck and focused on it. These days always make everything worse as it continues to disrupt my routine and messes up my day. I just feel like I’m in a constant spiral and on the verge of a meltdown. Over one thing going wrong.

  • I don't really have a good answer.
    I think you need to somehow fool your brain so it let's go for a while.

    I normally do something like:
    - tell myself it doesn't matter, even though it does, to say it somehow reduces the impact although it is not very effective and has to be done a few times to try to push the thoughts out,
    - tell myself I will worry/think about it later/this evening, so I can get on with what's next,
    - distract myself somehow, have something or do something I like instead, eat a cake or make some tea so my focus shifts.

    I know that it is something that a lot of us struggle with - I wish there was a straight answer! Thank you for these suggestions I will try to distract myself next time
