Never really admitted it before but I think I might have problems

I just don't think I can deal with situations very well. Something happened yesterday that I don't really want to go into - I found it quite stressful, but maybe to others they would see it as water off a duck's back. It was of more consequence to DH than it was to me, yet he seemed to be able to deal with and carry on as normal, whereas it has bothered me all afternoon/evening yesterday and all day today. I have been in tears most of that time, and I have felt in a bubble/daydream world where all I can think about is this thing that happened, and nothing else.
I wish I could be someone who could move on, but I think I've always been like this. I just don't know if I am overthinking it or if there is some reason that I react like this to things.
I just want to be normal.

You are normal. It is not abnormal to struggle. That's why we have doctors. In realising that you are not comfortable with your feelings you have taken the first step towards recovery. Go to your GP and talk openly to them. CBT has helped me deal with exactly the sort of situation you describe. (Not 'cured', by a long way - I'll have something similar to discuss with my therapist tomorrow- but getting there.)

Thank you for replying PrettyCandles - I'm feeling a lot better today, as I have been out of the house etc. I will still go and see the GP though, as I feel I need to find a way of dealing with these issues in the future. All the best with your situation .
