What's making me so grumpy and wishing to quarrel with everyone who crosses my path

What is making me short of patience, irritable and angry with the world?

I am still off sick.
I am often in pain and have high fatigue levels 
I am not earning any income 
I/we are in debt 
We have no spare cash for a social life 
I enjoy making doing and mending but at times it's hard not to be able to easily renew worn out things. 
I do not feel of value 
I feel like all my energy is focused on completing chores 
I feel I am not pulling my weight 
I would be happy - keeping house, reading, crafting, volunteering, gardening, projects if I had a small private income to contribute to maintaining a reasonable quality of life 
I am inwardly angry with my parents who have never really recognised the consequences of a disabled child and treating me as "normal" now has major consequences.
I did not want a Pilates spine corrector as my birthday present but knew this was the only way of getting it. Expensive but it will help my back. 
I am frustrated that I am not using my academic achievements - did I achieve them for nothing?

Waving Goodbye to Complaint Letters

Two virtual bombs landed in my home the day before yesterday... It made me see red, and made me ill and impacted sourly on the eve of my birthday. 

Reflecting today I am sad as other people's assumptions, opinions and actions need not have made this impact on me. 

My initial response was want to "shout" back and respond to their responses. Tell them how unhappy I am with their responses. 

I am of course completely frustrated because they cannot comprehend what it is like to be me, and the impact that failures in their products and services have actually severly impacted my life. Let's face it, nobody can know what it feels like to be you. There are some who can emphasise greatly and you feel that they just get it, sadly though they are in the minority. 

This is the first day of my 47th year, and I want to #doitbetter. So I am going to file the responses. I am not even going to re read it. 

Then I am going to vote with my feet.... 

Dear TGA - I am not going to promote you to anyone, and when I need to look for a replacement I will be looking elsewhere. 

Dear BA - If I can choose any other airline but yours I will 

Next time I want to write constructive feedback... I am going to walk away .... Remind me
