Unhealthy Habits and Anger = Frustration

A sprinkling of depression with a dash of anger can lead to some pretty interesting...

Let’s discuss in more details what happens when you mix the emotion of feeling sad with the emotion of feeling angry. When that combines it can actually create FRUSTRATION.

Think about it, when we are really sad we are, or can get disappointed about things that we may or may not have control over. Frustration can negatively impact your mental health, especially when you’re constantly in that state, overtime frustration can impact your hope. Here are some ways frustration can impact you:

• Whether frustrated in a job or in a relationship - you eventually may  grow apathetic, “you just stop caring” – you don’t have motivation to keep going.
• You don’t want to make improvements. You want to keep behaving the same way or you’ll keep going through the emotions.
• We can often take it out on people we love and care about
• Frustration can kind build up in our body and if we fail to address it can leak out IN THE WORST WAYS.
• When we’re frustrated we sometimes don’t communicate our needs effectively

Can you recognize when you’re feeling frustrated? What are some tools for dealing with it?

You want to know what’s in your control. You cannot control another person, or their behaviors.  You can only control yourself. Be encouraged when you realize there’s something that you can do to change your life – that is your responsibility. It’s your responsibility to change your life and the things happening that you don’t like, it’s not your partners responsibility, it is not your mom’s responsibility, it is not your best friend’s responsibility.
