This is fascinating. I’m lately very pissed off and feeling hopeless due to many reasons (not being able to afford a house and missing out on incredible mortgage rates playing a huge factor, coupled with the uncertainty of the job market). It’s devastating that I wasn’t prepared and such an opportunity is never coming back again is infuriating.

I have definitely started ruminating and regretting so many choices — previously I used to take to stoicism but even that is not being effective. Maybe I’m now ruminating, but I just can’t imagine being calm about the whole situation. Venting hasn’t helped, and typing this message has just made me angrier. Maybe I should try being calm… but at least I’m able to channel my anger, not so sure about channeling the calm :(
