What the F is wrong with me?

Am normally quite thick skinned, most stuff either goes over my head or slides right off like water off a ducks back ...

But just recently, am taking some peoples comments (IRL) to heart ... It's getting me down and I don't know how to deal with it

January was a tough month at work, it was mega busy and I had a new lady to train... it was stressful, the job got done, but some people had to wait (longer than they'd like) for some things (salesmen - so all only think and care of themselves)

How can I toughen up again? Hate feeling like this?

I get like this sometimes and I think of it as my tolerance getting low. I can usually sort it by making an extra effort to relax and unwind after work, doing some extra yoga sessions, walking more and sleeping more!
Maybe you need to fill your tank up a little by doing whatever you find restorative. Eliminate what stresses you can and most of all be kind to yourself, it sounds like you’ve had a lot going on!

it might be your age (peri?)
or
it might be that you've been storing something up and the dam has finally burst.

you need a break. you need to stop beating yourself up over things you can't control (easier said than done).

I feel exactly the same. Since Christmas I can't seem to have a conversation without taking something personally and its driving me mad! I'm perimenapausal and feel it must be a factor. I've signed up to the daily stoic challenge and its definitely helping.
