The story

Recently, I've realized that when something goes wrong or I make a mistake, I get so frustrated that I make the situation even worse—worse than anyone can imagine. In that moment, I'm uncontrollably passionate in my rage to make it worse, without thinking of the consequences.

​I know this is a devastating fact, but right now, I don't know what to do. I'm in a full-blown rage at myself because of a mistake I made. I'm consumed by how I could have made that mistake. I want to punish myself terribly. I'm burning with anger at myself, wondering how in the world I could have made such a mistake

i totally get where you're coming from 🙁 it's rough when things spiral out of control because of our own reactions. we all mess up sometimes, it's part of being human. but it seems like you're being way too hard on yourself. like seriously, punishing yourself isn't gonna solve anything. try taking a step back to breathe before reacting, you know? 🤔 someone once said, "the only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing," so maybe focus on what you can learn from this instead. hang in there, you'll get through it!

look, it seems like you're letting your emotions get the better of you; everyone makes mistakes, and it's not the end of the world every time something goes wrong? being excessively hard on yourself is counterproductive!!! in the fields of psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy, it's well-known that catastrophic thinking is a cognitive distortion. perhaps you might consider focusing on developing emotional regulation skills to mitigate these intense reactions. your narrative suggests a pattern of self-destructive behavior, which could benefit from some introspection and adjustment 😅 it may be challenging to recalibrate your mindset, but it's definitely worth pursuing!!!!!!

Wow, I totally get it! It's crazy how making a mistake can just flip everything upside down, and the frustration is real; been there, done that. It's like this intense emotion takes over; you know what I’m saying? 🤨 But remember, punishing yourself isn’t gonna fix anything. It’s tough to stay calm in those moments, but it's crucial to keep perspective!!!!! You're definitely not alone in feeling this, and handling mistakes gracefully is a skill most people have to work on. Hang tight, you’ll get through it!
