Is this a normal feeling / thought to have? It's very painful.

I don't know if this will make sense to people but I'm just saying it like it is. Every day the most inconsequential thing can irritate me and it's like a "domino effect" happens in my brain and I start thinking about how weak I am as a person, like if this little thing can upset me then how weak am I compared to people who have been through actual struggles, and I think about how vulnerable we are as humans, how anything can hurt us and we're virtually powerless to stop it, I think about my friends and stories I've heard of awful things happening, images I've seen.

So yeah the result is that this one little minor inconvenience turned into thoughts of death and tragedy and injustice and I just shut down and wish I could flip a switch on my head to just fall asleep so I don't have to deal with anything anymore.

Like I said it's very painful. Does this happen to everyone?
