Are you feeling frustrated with life? Do the decisions of others and the things you can't control cause you despair? We’ve all been there. Everyone gets at least a little frustrated now and again, but how do you stop it from getting out of control? If frustration is left unaddressed, it can evolve into feelings of helplessness, annoyance, anger, or even rage.
Frustration comes from many places. Happiness and boredom are two major culprits; when we are happy and content, we can become bored. And, being bored with life can lead to feelings of frustration.
