Aggressions and Annoyances
If you are like me, then you find yourself trying to struggle with the everyday annoyances that cross your path.
It could be anything, really. From co-workers who rub you the wrong way to not being able to find anything to watch on the TV.
I've been trying to find ways to deal with the everyday irritations that I come across. One thing I find that helps is journaling.
I don't mean something like this (although if that helps, then go for it). I mean, finding a notebook or a few sheets of paper and physically writing things down.
I have a black notebook that I use as a journal and I've been pretty steady at writing in it for the past few months. I have Anxiety and Depression and sometimes if I write about the emotions that I'm going through at the time, it helps me be able to process things better.
I've been going through quite a bit of anxiety as well as depressive episodes. I've been making sure I've been more diligent in my journaling because I've found it to be rather cathartic.
Plus, when I look back and read old entries, it helps me to keep a better track of my moods and what may have triggered them and how I dealt with them at that particular time.
Right now I've been going through quite a bit of job anxiety and financial stresses and so I've been writing about that. It doesn't solve the problem, but it helps me to get all of my emotions out on paper so that I'm not keeping everything bottled up inside me.
It can also turn out to be quite amusing, as I discovered reading through old journal entries I wrote when I was a pre-teen and early teenager. I was quite the Drama Queen, it seems.
You should give it a try sometime. If you're having a bad day and can't process it on your own, write it out. Pour out all the anger, sadness, loneliness, frustration, fear, etc. that you are feeling. If you have an issue with a co-worker or a family member, take some notebook paper, write out what you feel and shred it or burn it or whatever. Don't post on social media. That's a bad idea. But get it out somehow and then destroy it. While it may not solve the problem, at least it's a way of letting you vent your frustrations in a healthful way and then maybe it can clear your mind where you can find a way to solve the issue.
Hell, maybe it'll just make you feel better. Nothing wrong with that.
