Hi, I recently had to spend a week without my parents around, I stayed with my grandmother the first half, and at home with my little brothers the second half. On one of the days towards the end of the week, I had to call a cab to get to counseling, as my brother, who usually drives me, was at school. I had called several hours ahead of time and requested the cab for about a half hour before the appointment. The cab wasn't arriving at the designated time, so I called the company and they said they were just so busy they couldn't get a definitive time on when they could get someone out, especially since no one really goes to the area I live at.
After this call, I just got so frustrated! I just started crying an yelling that I just wanted to go to counseling, and then I got even more upset as time went on and the cab still wasn't there by my appointment time, and I just started crying even more about how poorly I was handling something simple like a late cab, and asking myself why I couldn't just be normal.
Luckily, a cab came and I made my appointment 45 minutes late but I got my full hour in, and the driver gave me his card so I could call him directly if I need a cab from my home again, which is nice. But the main point is, does anyone here get irrationally upset at seemingly minor things? I talked it over with my parents and they think maybe being alone at the time exacerbated my emotional state, as I have a fear of being alone.
