That's the interesting thing about the human brain and our reactions to things. When compared rationally what happened to you seems trivial. But in your brain it was the worse thing in the world on the scale of a true disaster. Reminds me of situations where one has a health scare or a hypochondria before knowing the true details of their illness. The feeling you get is as if you are headed toward death and others sometimes laugh at how out of proportion a reaction is to the evidence at hand.
