When something bad happens, my mind overthinks and overstresses it making that bad thing a bigger problem. Later down the road, I can reassess it and simplify the situation, but in that moment, it's a tsunami. I'll give a couple of recent examples:
1) Thanksgiving. Hate holidays and they stress me tf out. Honestly would rather be in the basement asleep then attend them. It's awkward and everyone brings a significant other and talks about their kids or the latest renovations done in their homes. That's nice but I don't care. These events usually make me want to move out because I would be more inclined to deny the invite or make up excuses to not attend or attend only for couple of hours rather than the whole day. This Thanksgiving, I was mostly up in my room wishing I was anywhere but there. Searching for apartments and reading about places further away.
2) The dog bit me again. First time it was a scratch and this time he bit my face and caused some light scars and a bloody lip. Well it wasn't a big deal except my mother was saying I told you so. How sweet. Glad that if I broke my leg from standing on a chair, her first response is I told you not to do that. Technically she wasn't wrong. The dog doesn't like to be picked up and so when I tried to move him over (nudge), he went for the face not knowing I wasn't going to pick him up. But I definitely didn't need the judgement at that moment because instead of getting on the dog, she was on my ass for not listening to her. But she said it so now it's gonna be stuck in my head like a record player and I'm gonna go back to apartment hunting.
When these events happen, my mind explores the dark side. And for that moment, my thoughts go back to when I was a kid. Thoughts of "I"m too sensitive to be in this world," "I'd be okay with a car hitting me on my way to work" and "I'd be happier just to sleep forever".
