Hi all! I was only diagnosed 6 months ago and I'll be 40 next year ☠️ I'm struggling with a lot of anger and frustration that stems from what I perceive to be others being inconsiderate of my time. Here's the sitation/example: Yesterday I had two hours of my workday lost to a really stupid meeting. The individual who was running it provided a handout that was absolutely riddled with spelling errors and incorrect data. Immediately I felt irritated that a person who seemingly can't use spell check is "in charge" of a facet of my work-life. Following that meeting, I knew I had less time to give my actual work, but nothing else was scheduled for my afternoon. Sweet. Then, someone in my supervisory chain of command appears, "hey, can I grab you for a meeting?. In hindsight, I wish I'd said "no you can't, if you want me to attend a meeting you need to schedule it in advance". Instead I said "uhh, sure" and went and sat in another meeting. The organizers were not prepared at all and it was another meeting that could have been an email. Two hours later I was able to return to my desk, to the salad I had purchased for lunch right before I was stolen away. It was soggy and meh. This perceived waste of and lack of consideration for my time has me feeling so much anger. It tends to bleed over into the rest of my day and I can feel that I'm unpleasant when I get home to my boyfriend and I'm short-tempered with my dogs. I hate feeling this way. I don't know if this feeling is common for anyone else, I'm struggling to rationalize anything in order to not feel so angry. Thank you for reading my rant.
