2.6 In what ways have I overreacted to slight provocations while ignoring the real issues in my life?

My most vivid memories of this are how I have dealt with my children. Seemingly innocuous actions on their part would often result in my getting upset at them. I recall recently an event where my keys fell down the side of my car seat and virtually impossible to reach. I went crazy - how my life was a mess, that I didn't deserve to exist, that people were better off without me around - all because my keys were out of reach. That seems in retrospect a fairly large overreaction for something that was pretty mundane.
