Little tiny things make and break my day

[QuietConceit]

Hello everybody! This is my first post to the forums so I think its high time I introduce myself. Ive only been diagnosed with depression and anxiety for about two years and but I see Im like a lot of other people on here who have a hard time distinguishing the “disorder” from their personality. Also I’m a 21 year old female student in the usa.

Sometimes I feel very delicate in that I can instantly be put in a sad/vulnerable mood. But luckily it goes both ways, something so small can make me so so happy Is anybody else like this? Here’s a list of examples that came to mind

It ruins the day when ..
-I have to visit busy or crowded places
-When I feel like everybody is “snubbing” each other (driving, lines, almost any group setting : /)
-When i have to talk with my mom on the phone
-When i Have to talk to classmates
-When I run into or see somebody I know
-When Im all out of milk

Happy, joy, joy when...
-When I hear my nextdoor neighbor laughing through the walls, also when I hear him play classical guitar music
-When somebody gives me a genuine smile
-Mutually smiling or making faces at a stranger’s baby or kid (that sounds wrong)
-Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2
-Unspoken shared moments with strangers
-Listening to music in my car

Post yours, both silly and serious!

Happy:

Fish and chips (and other foods)
Clouds, greenery
People being nice to others
Foot reflexology massage
Painting and other creative 'pursuits'

Sad:

People being unkind to others
Pollution
Not enough sleep
Reports of wars and such
Reminders of my wasted potential aka stupidity

Good mood:
-Seeing the sun shine when I get up
-Playing with animals (especially little kitties)
-Receiving a genuine smile x2
-Watching RWJ & Baretsandbereta's videos

Bad mood:
-When my mom starts bi**hing about me not studying (even though she sees I'm on the verge of collapse)
-Knowing there's nobody that will pick me up if I fall face down on the floor
-Starting to sweat
-And much more to go...

Breaks my day :

Bad: Things that generally get me in a negative mood:
• A ringing telephone in my house. I get a feeling of dread.
• Somebody bringing up the subject of boyfriends or the fact that I've never had one.
• When somebody comments on my quietness.
• When I see people my age (teens).
• Seeing/being around a normal looking to attractive boy my age, sometimes.
• Listening to music. At first I get happy listening to music, but often if I continue I get obsessive and feel bad.
• When I had a change to interact with somebody and did either badly, or just okay, or good. I get angry at myself for not being perfect and feel ashamed at missing the opportunity if I did badly and begin to doubt myself if I did okay or good.


Good: Things that generally get me in a negative mood:
• A really good joke, or an ironic picture, situation, or quote. Laughing cures everything, momentarily anyway. And if its not directed at somebody, of course.
• When I meet a person who is so non-judgmental that I feel relaxed and safe around them.
• Being around my friend's 2 year old brother.
• Music sometimes.
• Talking to my dad about philosophy.
• When somebody goes out of their way to have a conversation with me.
• Watching or listening to Doctor Who.
• Driving in the car with my mom while we both listen to a P.G. Woodhouse book.
• Listening to music in my car
• Watching a good movie.
• Listening to Father Roderick's podcasts.
• Being outside near nature on a beautiful day.
• Drawing.
