Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I'm thinking about going back to school (after 15 years), and it's frightening to imagine sitting in a classroom again. I'm going to try to tough it out though, because I really want to be a teacher. I wonder if focusing on your goal might help you get through the harder days. You won't always have to deal with those neighbors and your roommate-- someday you'll find a better situation that you can handle. Having a quiet living situation is VERY important to me. Avoiding caffeine might help too, or finding a quiet place to study (which is hard, I know). I don't know if you exercise, but that can have a really calming effect on me when I'm particularly frazzled. I don't know if you're interested in alternative medicine, but there are several calming products you might try, like Rescue Remedy or Calms Forte. I really don't know if they work, but the placebo effect might do you some good. Who cares, as long as you feel better. I hope you find something that helps--keep us posted. > > I think it's partly external stress in my life (final exams coming up, > etc), but I've been developing some anger issues these past few weeks. > Noisy neighbors upstairs actually fling me into a rage; I simmer with > hatred when my noisiest roommate gabs with her friend about how drunk > she was last night. > > I'm so on the edge right now, I practically jump when I hear a trigger > noise.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Thank you so much for your reply and suggestions. You're right, focusing on my goals does help me to try and ignore some of life's little (or large) annoyances. As I type this, actually, the guys upstairs are throwing a huge party, so they're stomping around, laughing, screaming, and sometimes roaring. But not to worry, we've asked them to quiet down many times now, so at this point we're ready to call the community director and let the big-wigs deal with 'em. If you do decide to return to school, good luck in your future endeavors--teaching is an incredibly honorable and hopefully fulfilling profession (my mom's a teacher). > > > > I think it's partly external stress in my life (final exams coming > up, > > etc), but I've been developing some anger issues these past few > weeks. > > Noisy neighbors upstairs actually fling me into a rage; I simmer > with > > hatred when my noisiest roommate gabs with her friend about how > drunk > > she was last night. > > > > I'm so on the edge right now, I practically jump when I hear a > trigger > > noise.
