Actually, nothing. It's more like disappointments scratch the thin surface to reveal what I'm already sad about- which is not having a house, a car, a husband, and a family like normal people. I am around kids, so I've watched the animated movie Tangled, and that's my life in a nutshell- I had a wicked mom who caused me to miss out on life, and I keep wondering (as Rapunzel says in the movie) "When will my life begin?"
So it's not what people do to upset me, it's not that I can't forgive, it's that presently speaking I still don't have what I want, and the bible says not having what you want makes you sick. And I am- I smile on the outside, but I'm depressed inside. Sometimes a movie or a game will take my mind off it, but when someone is mean to me I'm not mad at them, I'm simply reminded of my reality which doesn't match the image I had for my life, which I consider not asking for much. I've tried to quit wanting but it doesn't work.

I have realized lately that I tend to get pulled down, dragged down with life's demands when I don't spend quality time with the Lord, reading the word etc...It seems to be the perfect antidote for all the demands that will come my way on any given day. If I feel too busy, I tend to feel irritated, or less patient. Trying to do too much in a hour, day, or week is what usually will cause "burn out" dragged down. Of course it doesn't help to hear what's going on in the world, all the crisis here & there can easily bring discouragement. Negativity from people, news etc...seems to be getting worse by the day, but for me, spending time with the Lord daily is what keeps me focused & in faith....Violet

Overthinking about current circumstances or if there's anything that would be considered as a future for me. It doesn't take too much to make me become shut out or depressed, but there would be times where I'll have a breaking point and feel like I would be ready to snap.
Anxiety is also a major contributor when it comes to everyday situations. I would sometimes wonder how I would be like if it were never for it. Unfortunately, I don't see this changing any time soon either, so if I ever go into that type of pity then I would need to get out of it sooner rather than later and just deal with what I am able to do.

Well, that's a valid point.
I do occasionally have a habit of overtraining, which does all sorts of crazy things to me. I've always struggled with insomnia even before I ever started training, so to add more fuel to the fire would certainly be... quite bad.
I'm in a catch 22 there, if I don't train I can't sleep, if I train too hard, I can't sleep. If I train in moderation, I still can't always sleep.
I think part of my issue at the moment is I'm just.. spent out. In more ways than one I'm just stretched.
Although my problems sound minor in comparison to some of the emotional scarring people are talking about here. I guess I've got some of that too, but I try to ignore it or I'd go insane.
