Why do such trivial things upset me so much?

[Vanillasweets77]

I've applied yet again for disability and was not approved so what do I do put myself down. I feel useless and like a failure all cause every job I have causes so much anxiety and depression and my coping skills suck. Anytime something doesn't go right I just feel like it's the end of the world and I don't wanna deal with it. I feel like a toddler. Im almost 33 what can't I just grow up?

It sounds like the things you’re going through aren’t trivial at all! Although you can often find a pattern and a trigger in the trivial things that upset you.

Hi Vanilla,

Did you find out why you were turned down for disability benefits again?

You're not a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, you're a young women venting your frustration at the system. We all have moments like these. In these times the incidences of anxiety and depression have gone up and there are alot of people struggling too.

With everything else that's happening in your life it is pushing you to boiling point. Is there someone you can reach out to . You need the support right now. Are their any social services/ mental health or voluntary groups that can advise you on your eligibility for the benefits and how to apply for them or they may point you to other organisations that give out benefits and grants.

When we're suffering from anxiety it inhibits our ability to think what to do next, making us feel helpless. Please call someone who can listen. Look for a church that does community work maybe they would have a support team .

Lately I have been suffering from anxiety but I went back to reading my bible and praying and I feel calmer. I pray God will give you peace and strength and that you will find Him! Amen.

Sorry, I'm in UK, what's iop and pcp? You sound a bit more positive.

Iop is a inpatient group therapy that's virtual 3 days a week 3 hours a day. Pcp is a outpatient in hospital group that's 15 days long 6 hours a day. I'm just trying to get extra help without ending up in a psychiatric care center. Or opposite im not sure the difference between in and outpatient
