The little things

Why is it the little things break the camel's back? Dinner was supposed to be delivered last night and never came so we ended up with fast food 3 hours later than we wanted. I was so upset after that. To the point I was nauseous. This morning I was so tired. Now I've been ready to cry all day. Feeling so alone, like I can't talk to anyone who'll understand (other than my bf, mom & Dr. Just don't feel like dealing with it. But I know I have to. Sigh 😞

AKO424, the little things can break the camel's back because we are human.

Our threshold for patience is not always that tolerable (especially when we are hungry)

Last night is a good example in how your emotions can ruin your day just by the negative

thoughts we carry.

I feel I can say this to you today because I understand totally. I'm going through my own

little "pity party" after grocery shopping this afternoon. Coming home tired, hungry and yet not feeling like cooking. But like you, I know I have to if I want to eat. :)

A few moment ago, I changed my thoughts to positive when I realized "90 Days" is on tonight. (I enjoy escaping with that show) And then I remembered I have freshly bought

Chocolate chip muffins to enjoy later with a cup of coffee. All of the sudden, life doesn't seem so difficult. :) It is what we make it.

So enjoy the rest of your day or evening and know that you aren't alone. Life is Good :) xx

That's depression my dear. That's what I've been feeling every single day. Everything seems to bother me. I also feel nauseous. And then I cry for hours. I'm so sorry and I understand what you're going through. 😓😪

I feel you, I get anxious and depressed when even the littlest of things go wrong. If I can't get what I wanted at the grocery store, if my internet acts up, and I could go on and on. I feel so selfish and guilty because, for the most part, I live a comfortable life in terms of having what I need to get by. Others are struggling a lot more than I am, but I still become a pile of tears when things don't go my way. I just try to remind myself when things go wrong that it's only temporary and my feelings of anxiety and depression over the situation are temporary too. I also remind myself of what is going right in my life, even if it is something small like having a good book to read or show to watch.
