Overreacting to Small Things: A Rant

Recently, I've been having issues with my Xbox controllers, and it's frustrating because I don't have the screwdriver to fix or clean them. And I don't have the money to get the screwdriver to fix or clean them

It's frustrating and it's annoying and I know it's a small thing, but the fact I can't fix this small thing is annoying me

I don't even know if there's a place nearby with used stuff where I could buy another for cheaper than getting it from the store. Or maybe like turn in some of my old consoles like 2 of my 3 PS2s that sit doing nothing, or my old Xbox 360

I have only $3.12 ish in cash, and like $105 in a cash app I can't even access, because I can't pull out of my cash app without a card, which I need an ID for, which I don't have

It's so frustrating that I can't fix this small issue, and I can't even work towards fixing the same issue because I don't have a job, cause I don't have an ID

I've heard that people like me, with ADHD, can be very easily frustrated with small inconveniences, while handling big situations well, and It sucks. I hate minor inconveniences. Especially ones I can't do anything about, because then, at least the minor inconveniences wouldn't be THAT bad

Tl;Dr: minor inconveniences are agony

Honestly, even though you said it's a minor inconvenience, you started listing a whole chain of things that also need fixing/addressing. So it's more than a minor thing for sure! Hope you're able to give yourself some grace and that you can get your controller at least fixed soon! 😳
