Sounds like you're somewhat stressed. So consider getting more exercise, developing skills with yoga or meditation, see if you can make other improvements in your life. That's my take at least.

hello zoe. welcome to the forum. sorry for what brings you here, but glad you are here.

my mental health is not in question. i'm loonier than a toon and need to run daily inventories to see how many fries short of a happy meal i am on any given day. angry thoughts are a major red alert in my own daily inventory. hold the presses and ply therapy tool, NOW. but then. . . my anger issues are intense enough to be a call for public safety measures. i monitor them closely.

but that is me and every case is unique. . .

gentle support while you sort your own case. listening, should you decide to sort a bit deeper. welcome aboard. you are not alone.

Having an angry thought and recognizing it for what it is, a thought, you are making a better choice to look into a better way of processing the feeling in a positive direction.

Excellent work for you to write it out!

Take time to relax and let your brain relax. That will help you sort out what is really making you feel so strongly about 'mistakes'.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS community!

You may need a mental health assessment or it could just be stress at work. Sometimes it is just too much pressure and every time we get interrupted, we feel irritated. That irritation is frustration and comes out in ugly thoughts towards people. When I am overworked or really stressed about life problems, sometimes I feel angry inside when I am interrupted or asked to take on more work or stress. We have to take care of our bodies and our minds by finding ways to destress.

Now if your mouth is opening and you are spewing venom on people, I'd be more concerned. Our culture is more and more pushing people to judge other people all the time. We've become mean minded and hate filled way too much. So if you feel you are too judgmental, you can work on stopping this. Empathy and compassion are wonderful attributes to have.

Journaling every evening about how you feel might truly help. It can receive stress and anxiety as Mid wrote.

If you feel you need a mental health assessment, then I encourage you to seek this. It can be a very helpful thing to do. Best to you.

You may need a vacation!


Chronic stress and anxiety will alter the brain a bit, anger is one thing that will happen. I am the same way with mistakes at work either by others or myself. Be kind to yourself, right now many others are heavily stressed and anxious at work like yourself. And take some days off if you can.

Hi, thanks for your responses. I was talking to someone about my employment situation and they said the fault is on the hiring manager as they are hiring people with no skills to fit the job. I may have to report the situation but I don't like to put myself in an awkward situation with my employer.

If you like your job.... then to tell you the truth, I would stay out of reporting that they don't seem to be hiring people who are skilled enough. Is it possible this is your perception and not what's really going on?

Who was the "someone" you were talking to? Do they have Human Resources skills? Or, was it just a friend you were venting to?

The reason I am asking these questions is that too often we don't like what we see at work as far as other people slacking off, or what we perceive that they are not doing their job properly. But in my work experience, the human resources department, or higher up management, the supervisors, the managers, etc..... That's their job to take care of this. They know if someone doesn't have the skills for the job, and they will handle it.

It depends how much this really bothers you.... enough to (probably) be okay with being uncomfortable around them, if you report these people?

I have worked jobs where I saw all kinds of slacking off, people not really working..... And, I just stayed out of it. I did my work, and went home. It wasn't my business to be reporting the other people. Especially if I liked my job and didn't want to cause waves. Not sure what kind of line of work you are in, so what I am writing may not apply to your situation. I needed the work, and the paycheck, and I just did my work and didn't cause waves (unless of course if I saw something illegal or harassment.... which I didn't).

This is all just my experience and my opinion. You do what you feel is best for you, and your mental well being at work.

What they don't do, I have to do so my workload is directly affected. We don't work in an office, we go to customers home. I wouldn’t get involved otherwise.
