Going through a bad spell

I'm really fed up and I need to rant.

Just lately whatever I do seems to be wrong. Regardless of what it is, I just get these irritating people picking faults in everything I've done, even if they have been with good intentions. A couple of weeks ago I snapped at someone on Twitter over something I misunderstood and then had to apologise for it. I took something someone else said on Facebook to heart, started worrying about it and then was put in my place by someone else. Again I had to apologise. I shared some design ideas about improving a website and was pretty much told that the design sucked, I shared my thoughts on search engine optimisation and everything I said was pretty much got ignored whilst they went along with what someone else, who by their own admission, knows nothing on the subject, said. 

I get angry and come up with all these drastic ideas in my head about how I can get back at all these people but so far I haven't carried any of them out until last night. I know this is not the right way to handle things and it's going to be yet another thing that I'll end up having to apologise for.

Apologising is all I seem to be doing these days.

    Skybird, I'm going through a similar phase of stepping from one faux pas to another. I can really sympathise with what you are going through.

    Take a step back and work out what you are good at, focus on what you CAN do rather than what you find hard. There is a movement in HR that seeks to make the most of what people are good at rather than obsessing over their faults. I've been reading the book www.amazon.co.uk/.../1416502661 which explains this. I'm finding this very helpful in rebuilding my confidence following my diagnosis and a period of realising all of the mistakes I've been making.
