Well - as much as I love the "happiness is..." thread - I thought we should be able to post what frustration is to us.

I will go first.

Frustration is knowing you have to study (your job depends on it) but you can't get your brain to comply.


Now it is your turn ...

knowing you have to study and your internet is kaput!

People who don't understand, no matter how much you explain it

People who think you have great ideas, and then file them away, never to be thought of again

You have been single for so long you are headed for born again virgin!

um mmm
I remember in 7th grade believing, yes believing that if someone waited a magical 7 years you would again be virginized

hah thanks for the chuckle Melly!

Frustration is ... seeing your deadline get steadily closer and you STILL haven't gotten a darn thing done.

Frustration is feeling detached & sorely left out of your teenagehood

Frustration is having the will to succeed, but not the resolve or the means

</egocentricity>

I couldn't agree with you more ...

Frustration is feeling overwhelmed and not being able to cope with the stress of the day.

frustration is having obstacles in your way, and you can't do a thing about them
(because others have put them there and won't move them, even after a discussion)

being called upon to speak & knowing there is something that you was going to say, but its lost somewhere in yr brain & durned if you can come up with what it was :-[

frustration is flitting from chore to chore, getting none of them done...

Frustration is ... running out of time.
:eek:

frustration is watching your friend get frustrated because she's run out of time....:)

What a great idea for a thead Ane!!

Frustration to me is that I have not had the chance to finish my Christmas shopping, wrap the presents that I have boughten or gotten the decorations out of the attic...............all because my hubby has been working so many hours, he is not home long enough to help with any of the above

I second that one Judit

Frustration is not getting to sleep last until after 3am, when you had been trying to sleep since about 12:30am. The frustration continues as you don't hear your ALARM - so you over sleep, messing up your study schedule and basically making you FLIPPIN mad.


Frustration is knowing you are going to fail .....

Losing your new watch a month (to replace the other one you lost) after you bought it, looking every where and still not finding it.

Then you buy another one and find the other 2 you "lost" !!! :D

frustration is not being able to relieve your friend's pain...

Frustration is being jealous of your teenage sister because she has emotional stability, resolve, social acceptance, and all the other things you wish you had at that age

Frustration is knowing that I want to do so many things, and that most of them would turn into disasters no matter how hard I try. No point in even going there.

Frustration is having so many nice people you want to get gifts for .... but have NO money in which to do so.

Frustration is being so emotionally stunted, arrogant and conversationally inept that noone can even get close to you.

Frustration is realising that you're inflicting this hardship upon yourself, but have no concious control over the negative aspects of your psyche, or for that matter your own body.

Frustration is non-ADDers telling you to just grow up.

Frustration is being so damned clingy toward anyone who shows the slightest bit of affection that you wind up alone

Frustration is not knowing who the problem lies with, you or them.

Frustration is enacting every possible new experience in your mind, deciding you'll fail at it and not bother trying

Ok, i'll stop now :)

Frustration is trying to pry my 15-year-old daughter out of her bed in time for school....i can feel my blood start to boil, and my stomach tie in knots!!!!! If she does this to me when I go back to work, I will kill her! I cannot afford to be late for work, all because she seems to think time will stand still just for her. I am counting the days till she graduates high school. I am getting too old for this nonsense!!!!!!

To me frustration is knowing that my ADHD 9 year old son can't help the way he acts and behaves, even medicated, but he still drives me crazy and I don't know how to deal with it or how to listen to him well enough to satisfy his needs. I love him.

Trying to explain something to someone and having them look at you like you have 3 heads.

Frustration is being so overwhelmed that you think your head will pop.

Frustration is ..... feeling totally alone and helpless.

Frustration is seeing so many great people focus on the negative....yeah, yeah, throw the rotten tomatos later.

I only say this because I just read a post by MCTAVISH23 that was written on sep 5 2004 at 3:23 Pm that said "You get what you focus on"

I think this is why creative visualization is so successful and what the point of "What the @$#! Do We Know" was trying to make...(the movie, that is).

frustration is becoming more and more forgetfull. :(

frustration is the side effects of meds

Frustration is trying to struggle with your 3 year old to get antibiotic eyedrops in his eyes, which are supposed to treat the pinkeye in his right eye and prevent it from spreading to his left eye...and then eventually, after a warm bath, seeing his little eye swell up like he's been in a bar fight, more and more junk leaking from it, and then the other eye (the left one) starts up!:(

That is frustration!

Oh, yeah--and your parents (including the doctor) are not available! Noooo! The kid's ok, but this is really gross and off and on, he cries...cries nasty mucousy nastiness! Eeeewww!:eek:

My baby...my poor baby...
