They were about the only thing that were doing well. About all my reagents were ruined by a recent move, today I found out even more stuff was ruined besides more issues that need politics to be resolved. Ack. I lay awake most of yesterday night, feeling irritation build up. I have been grumpy all day :smile:

Decrease fuel intake, that will reduce your thrustrating.

Not so bad, just a bit disoriented (more so than usual :biggrin: ) from 2 weeks away from the office.

Yes that works, along with putting it into a low gear, and hunkering down for a long cruse. I try really hard not to be upset by things I have no personal control over. Some times I half to leave my building, sit in my car and put on the radio, and shrug it off.
Hope your week gets better.

You're lucky you're just frustrated. I've been feeling quite agitated for nearly 24 hours now, and I have no idea why.

FAQ: Why am I feeling so frustrated and agitated?

What causes frustration?

Frustration can be caused by a variety of factors, such as unmet expectations, difficulties in achieving a goal, or feeling overwhelmed or stuck in a situation.

How does frustration affect our bodies?

Is frustration always a negative emotion?

Frustration can be both positive and negative. In some cases, it can motivate us to work harder and overcome obstacles. However, if it becomes overwhelming or chronic, it can have negative effects on our mental and physical well-being.

How can we cope with frustration?

There are various strategies for coping with frustration, such as taking a break, practicing relaxation techniques, or problem-solving. It's important to find what works best for you and to communicate your frustrations to others if necessary.

Can frustration be beneficial?

In some situations, frustration can be beneficial as it can push us to find new solutions and be more creative. However, it's important to manage frustration in a healthy way and not let it become overwhelming or destructive.
