It could be mold poisoning, vitamin deficiencies, inherited genetic tendencies from historical trauma, neurodivergence, or a blend of the listed factors. It can feel like detective work to figure it out, but it’s well worth it! Document each episode and the known triggers to report to your doctor. They will likely send you to specialists to help you narrow things down. I also recommend therapy, especially IFS and EMDR for things like this. It may bring up something that you’ve forgotten, but your body hasn’t processed. ❤️🫶🏻
I am this person who gets stressed at everything also I’ve never hurt anyone or ever would but I get so annoyed and stressed at EVERYTHING!
@🍉 Rowena do you know what, I think it could be genetic now you mention it. My dad is exactly the same as me. I remember once he was shouting, swearing and getting extremely stressed because he took the wrong turn when driving one day and that is exactly like something I’d do. But also we do have neurodivergent people in our family such as Autism, OCD and ADHD, I just personally haven’t been diagnosed with any of these and I’ve heard adults are sometimes not taken as seriously when looking for a diagnosis/it takes even longer than it already does for children (in UK based and unless you go private, it can take 7+ years to get a diagnosis on the NHS. My nephew had his diagnosis within a couple of weeks when he went private but they paid like £2,000). Thinking of maybe seeking therapy and hopefully they can help me come up with stress and anger management tactics. Thank you for your comment!
@Kate this is me! I wish I wasn’t like this because I hate myself when I’m stressed. Plus I’m 24 and I swear I’m going wrinkly from constant frowning and stressing😂
@Alexandra I’m so glad I’m not the only one but it is annoying being that person isn’t it? I’d love to be a calm person but I get angry at ANYTHING! I will definitely seek therapy 😂 thank you!
You could try meditation, decluttering if applicable (less stuff to worry about means more headspace), self therapising by doing CBT to yourself - your stressed and worry thoughts write them down and 'see them through' eg write worst case scenario, challenge your thoughts w logic etc, mindfulness, when u start to get stressed count to 10, try and find 3 red things, 2 blue things etc.. perhaps more exercise to tire your body and brain out to physically stop overthinking and stressing.. lots of ideas really. Keep a journal and check in with yourself and try one strategy at a time and see how it goes xx
This is very much me as well. Get triggered super easily and with pregnancy forgetaboutit. I started going to therapy to see if that’ll help so i definitely recommend looking for help just someone to talk too! But im right there with you 😩
