How can I stop being upset about dumb things that don't really matter?

I don't want to care. It's not a big deal. But I can't help it.

Today, my dad turned our internet off and I got really sad. I like routine and we just moved, so it was completely gone.

I'm weird. I don't know why.

I think the internet is a big deal for young people. When it goes off in my house, my kids all emerge from their bedrooms.

There is always going to be things we can’t control and disruptions to routines and you just have to find a way that you can go with the flow and adapt to the change. Think of it as the change is good - almost like a challenge for you. Don’t think of the change as a bad thing

@Jenny1234 Yes, but we need it for a lot of things like school.
I know there is and I want to handle those things like a normal person without crying or having a panic attack. I just don't know how.

@Manfredthemanic well there are exercises you can do to calm yourself down. Deep, slow breaths. There is also a great YouTube channel by Suki Baxter and she teaches you have to calm anxiety with the vagus nerve method. Meditation can really help you as well.

@Jenny1234 Yes, I do watch Youtube to calm myself down, but I can't without internet!
Breathing exercises don't really help me, but I don't know if I am doing it right.
