Frustration is something that every person feels at some point in the day to day life. The pressure from family, workplace or society could be a reason for frustration.
People gradually become anxious due to increasing frustration. Anxiety is a very pessimistic feeling. The person becomes skeptical, as anxiety grows. As a result of this person starts questioning themselves like am I good enough? who am I ? Will I be able to do what I am trying to do?

The key steps that you can take are trying to feel positive; change your perception, reframe the situation; it might not be as negative & remember the concept of gratitude.
Sometimes these self-help strategies also do not help. It is rightly phrased, “the more you resist, it not only persists but also grows with time”. Frustration can lead to increasing doubts & indecision.
However, the ultimate changes must come from within. No one else can respond to your feelings. In the end, you are supposed to react. Now reaction doesn’t mean to rebel or get mad over something, feeling reckless.
