when your ticked off about everything! Not depressed or sad or self pity, but when you just get mad as a hornets nest? I haven't had one of those days in a long time, but whoooooohhoooooooooo AM I TICKED OFF TODAY!
What did I do against it? Vent. Went the unhealthy way about it to my girlfriends for a beer, chain smoked and got angry, but you know what? It didn't do a dent but make me angrier, because as usual, we were on the same wave length and we were both ticked. I could of kicked in the walls. Instead I had to go home, put on a smile and play with my girls. My anger has been building up since 3 days ( I even tried to write about it 2 days ago and yesterday in a journal, but it didn't help) but today was the limit.
So here is a poll:
What top 3 things ticks you off the most that someone else does to you?
What is your limit?
What do imagine what you want to do?
And what do you really do about it?
.........................................................................................
MIne are:
What top 3 things ticks you off the most that someone else does to you?
Lieing, being inconsistant about anything and not telling me things I should know to forewarn me.
What is your limit? I can put away alot of things if it doesn't hit these 3 things at once, which it did today.
What do imagine what you want to do? Throw things, kick in the walls, scream, rant, throw a 3 year old temper tantrum and kick things again
And what do you really do about it? Usually I suck it in. Sometimes like today I talk and just get upset and I start smoking alot. Othertimes I try to get out and just run it off or something, but usually I never have the time, because I have to go home and find an excuse to run out of the house. I've written alot too, but this time I just wanted a punching bag. I often wish I had a punching bag to beat the heck out of it and walk away.

Whoa - what happened to you?
I have been trying to take the path of "call and check" - clarify if you will - before I get pissed off. And I try to get away from the situation to see the positive and let it roll off my back like a duck.
Some people will never change........sigh....
Are you okay now? I am sorry for whatever it is, and remind me to never cross you and then stand in your raging path!
I can't think of three generic things that will piss me off. What I usually do about is the same as what I want to do - and that is stand back, try to look at the situation from all sides, recognize what I can and can't do to address/fix it, not let it bother me and move on. I have spent a lot of time perfecting this method of reaction, because just feeling anger can cause my arthritis to flare up - and that is a big incentive to not feel stress.
Edit: I said perfecting but I am not perfect at it. I say I get it right 98% of the time.

It's been a thing lately about people being SO inconsistant. For instance workwise: Saying one thing or asking me to do something and then suddenly flipping around and making other changes without informing me, which makes me look like an idiot. Not to mention I can't seem to get my tasks done or delegate this darn team, because everyone feels they have to do their own thing without any organization and that just turns into a chaos.
Private: Same thing, except that they constantly want my attention, call, write for weeks and days once or twice a day and then suddenly disappear into thin air without one comment about it and suddenly a week later reappear and expect me to just hold my tongue, because I am upset that something happened. They knowingly KNOWING they would have to go out of town, but NOT ONE WORD about it. Instead a bunch of other crap and bam, they disappear for a week. But if I WERE to do it, whoa, I would get the 3rd degree. Not calling or writing for 3-4 days is fine, but when they do it everyday and suddenly you don't hear a word about them for a week, I find it worries me. Not anymore, but it's just the initial being made to worry when it could of have been prevented.
Not being truthful: My Supervisor, who is just causing such wreak and havoc and lieing unbelievably. She just would love to get rid of me. Everyone calls it a serious jealousy problem, because I get along and I am respected for my work and she just has a real problem with that.
Not forewarning me: One of my best friends who works with me was stopped by my Supervisor , because she said she was having problems with me. My friend told her she wanted to stay out of it and if she had a problem with me, she should tell me herself. HOWEVER, my friend NEVER told me this until yesterday when we were arguing (we never argue) about something. She told me as if I should Thank her for that. I was like "What? First of all I expect you to keep out of it and second of all, how could you not forewarn me that she was asking people about me?"
Then a whole lot of little things. Certainly somethings I can control and others not, but I just have been having one of those days since the start of the week that makes me think people are really trying to do this on purpose. LOL. Is it a full moon? Are the stars not aligned, because everyone is just not thinking. So it makes me want to kick because I can't control some of it and no the people won't change and some of it I can control but it means bringing out the whip. My family has a severe temper all around. I am the quietest one. If it were my Dad or Sister in my situation, WATCH out and run as fast as you can. They get really unglued and nasty. Not physical but hurtful verbally. I don't do that unless I am really down on the ground and I feel someone really wants to hurt me. Then I fight back.
Like I said, I am not depressed or sad or anything like that, but I am just pretty ticked off right now. Thanks for letting me vent.
