Answer 1

What a cute little tomato! I'd like to squeeze you, but we mustn't squeeze tomatoes--I can give you a gentle (()).
Everyone has their choice of how to deal with frustrations. (& I'm sure you're not speaking of the silly "little" things that happen every day.) The frustrations that build up over time--those are the most difficult. Today I hit several brick walls over something truly urgent I've been working on for at least three months. I was so overwhelmed by the indifference, resistance & contadictions that I felt something rising from the pit of my stomach--perhaps close to rage, which I've never felt before. All that sincere investment! & here I am at square one.
Doing something physical would never work for me. Getting "involved," even in something that would normally please me, wouldn't, either.
Only in solitude could I get past the feeling. Put away the files, unplug the phones. REMOVE myself. Empy my mind, relax my body. REFRESH in absolute silence. Block out any thought about--but I'll have to deal with it later! Because, if I don't get this rest, I won't be able to deal with anything. I remember thinking, will it EVER end? Of course it will! But not just now, thank you very much. I need this time for me...
I wonder what "frustrates" you--people? If you're doing the best that you can without destroying yourself in the process, do you have any choices? Can anyone help?
You can see how many in cyberspace care about you, is there anything we can do but offer kind words & concerns? It seems so inadequate to say--please take care of YOURSELF. But you really must! Please!

Dear Moon,
I don’t think there are any simple answers, especially if you’re limited by responsibilities and circumstances and especially if your emotions are involved.
I hope this helps: try to stay positive and don’t get so wound up that the tension you feel aggravates your frustration. Some people might just ‘walk away’ but I don’t think that’s you Moon and I think that whatever the situation, you will try and stick it out. If you can however get away a short while and step back from the cause of the frustration, maybe take regular walks in the open air and try to calm yourself down, you might feel more able to cope and continue.
Are there alternatives you hadn’t considered before? Is there someone who might help you? Recognise your own needs as well as the needs of others. You need to stay happy (and healthy) too. Don’t become isolated … I don’t think you will, you have so many wonderful friends. Try, try, try to get some sleep. Maximise your inner life. Meditate, relax, find harmony and peace within … not easy in some circumstances I know. Lose yourself in a good book. Recognise your limits. Remember you can only do so much and you can only do your best. I think your best Moon will be incredibly more than other people in similar circumstances could manage. Don’t ever feel guilty. Stay in touch with your friends.

I try to do something active, to release those negative emotions in a positive way. Working out is a good way to release feelings of frustration, also walking, jogging, or bike riding, even just getting out and jumping on the trampoline for a few minutes. Anything that will just get you up, and active or busy for a little while.

Either that, or just go somewhere alone, if that's possible, and write down my feelings. We all just need to vent sometimes. It's a big release to do that, it lets you get it all out- without bothering anybody with your rants in the process! And after I get it all out, I usually go back and read what I wrote- and usually I realize how silly it was to be so frustrated in the first place. And then you are able to view the whole situation with a clearer mind.

And a wonderful day to you too! (((((Moon)))))

Answer 4

Things turned upside down unexpectedly...quite hard to comprehend. Nothing seems to work well...at the moment. Take a break from the thought of it. 'Easier said than done'; one must say.
My way of dealing with it? I pack my soul out and take my feet to where I can find calm...like looking at the vast sky, or the blue sea, or the beds of green. I fill my lungs with the freshness of air till I get half relieved inside. Then I turn to heaven and seek guidance for my journey back to my sane thinking and normal living. I tune up my senses again to new sounds of jokes and laughter from friends. There is always consolation in the thought that we're 'not alone'. We may be sad for awhile; so what? Others out there may be sad too. So we're down; who cares? We're not the only ones!
Frustration, like any other psychological state is not permanent, and is NOT invincible. We can deal with it via spirit-overhaul and self-renewal.

I know you will win over it. You know YOU WILL!

Answer 5

Bounces off of us like water off of a stone. Just be careful not to stand to close or you’ll get soaked too.

If we have some momentum we can roll right over the troubled water like a skipping stone.

Some times we take 5 to breath and cool off and strategies, if we have the luxury we’ll take a nap and let the sub conscious chew on it. Always seams to come up with good stuff. Funny how the stress can be raining down off the fan and we just go to sleep, ha…

Answer 6

Which ever way works the best at the time.
-a walk with some deep breathing
-a drive with the windows closed for a little scream or two
-something physical; ie. the gym, kick boxing, run
-write it out, journal, poetry, short story, what have you

Frustration and its outlets depend on the individual and the individual situation. We all just have to find the way that works for us. Personally, I use all the methods listed above.

Answer 7

I'd be sad for awhile.. only awhile, really... to give time for a sob...then move to a couple of big sighs.. then to a cup of coffee and a piece of dark chocolate..then I'd do things that I like very much like cooking or knitting, then I'd tell to 2 of my best friends, then I'd sleep it away.. then I'm ready for the next and even bigger frustation!
(I'd pray during the sadness, the sob, the coffee, the cooking.. but it'd be hard with the knitting or I'd miss the stiches.. and the sleep.) That if the frustration was caused by myself.

If it was caused by others, I'd be cross for awhile..no sob..straight to more than a couple of big sighs.. the rest is the same, except the pray.. I'd pray for God's forgiveness for I'd been angry.

Take care Moon... We have plenty of comforting hugs here if you need one or some....

Answer 8

Moon~~~You are frustrating me with all your avatar changes.
LOL, Now up pops this little red thing, strawberry I think it was. LOL. All kidding aside Moon, I love them and wonder what you will come up with next. I wish I knew how to do that. I would love to play with that on my birthday today.

As for your question. I no longer get frustration. You know the saying, " Something good comes for those who wait".
I almost died in 2002 before having 2 brain surgeries. I was hospitalized for 31 days. Daily I had Christians & prayer around me. I was in a serene place and totally in God's hands. Thy will be done, I said in prayer.~~Moon I have not been frustrated since. It is a waste of time & energy. Turn it over to God !!, If its to much for you.
Knowing you have him in your coner is so comforting. It is hard to explain. I honestly don't let anything interupt my serinity, outside of the pain & suffering of others. I turn that over to God constantly.~~~~~
I pray that you all will take time to smell the roses~~~

Answer 9

I start off with a sound like uuuggrrrahh !
Then I take a deep breath and let it out slowly,
voice my frustration,
then go out to my porch swing and,
stare at the trees, watch the Birds and ,
listen quietly for The Creator to speak in some way.

Answer 10

I always try to have a positive mental attitude in everything I do and with everyone I deal with on a daily basis. I look as a state of frustration as only being a temporary situation. I roll with the punches the best I can and try to overcome by a positive attitude. I don't let it consume me.
