How to help impatience

Bridalwhistle

Hey community!

Recently, I've been feeling very impatient with day-to-day tasks and conversations. I will rush in to clean something, for example, or have a really short fuse when talking to people close to me. It's like my tolerance has lowered all of a sudden.

Has anyone else experienced this? I searched for some posts on impatience, but they look like they were posted years ago. I'm also looking at burnout symptoms; maybe that's what is going on.

Thank you, and hope you are doing ok.

  • I know the more tired I am, the less patient I am too. And if you get sensory overwhelm, say it's really noisy, it can also make it worse. Burnout would definitely have an effect, as your ability to cope is lower, and your then closer to meltdowns/shutdowns all the time. It would be worth looking into to see if you relate to how else you are feeling?

    Resting more helps a lot, as is finding things that ground you as then you can cope with more and not have such a short fuse. And if you feel you might snap, try walk away, that sometimes works too, but won't solve the cause of it.
