If the thoughts are sticking around in your head, it doesn't sound like you're "bottling" very well. Surely the point is to just ignore problems, rather than dwelling on them.
Observe the word 'bottling' and the metaphor which goes with that verb.
You're talking about letting your issues pass you by. Bottling indicates you taking those niggles and keeping them inside. Hence, festering. Hence, boom.
Yeah, Tack, that's Star Trek: Voyager levels of taking an alright metaphor for a situation and running with it so hard that it breaks all meaning.

Wot? You are 'bottling it up' or 'bottling it in' when you Are dwelling on them.
The metaphorical bottle, people! It's internalizing your frustration. Do I have this metaphor entirely wrong?

The metaphor is wrong. It's a bad metaphor, from, like, Freud or something.

Bottling it up actually means sucking dicks.

I'm making a semi-serious effort at completing a game using Unity. It's only been going about two months, and I've already started to forget how pieces of it work. This is a bad sign for any project that I work on.

It gets even better once you start collaborating.

Oh man, I just thought... what if the reason that person never called me is because I gave them the wrong number all those months ago?
Damnit. Now I'll never know for sure.

So... I was going to the funeral, but due to car issues, I was asked if I 'wanted' to go.

Truthfully... I didn't and they asked for my honest opinion...

So now I am not going...

It was a lot easier when I was being forced to attend...

Now I feel terrible... but actually going is far far scarier.

I've gone to a lot of funerals. Hell, one of my relatives is on the edge of death and it's kind of a relief, since they've been minimally conscious for three years. I couldn't go to their funeral. I haven't even gone to see them.
Sometimes it's better not to go. Even if you respect the person, it's hard.
I empathize.

I wish I could live alone.
It's unlikely I'll ever be able to afford my own place, though. :-\

Ohhh boy. Was having a pretty good day, including but not limited to a double rainbow, but now, right before i am about to go to sleep, all the usual depressing thoughts return. Probably helped along a bit by a minor argument with mom, about the usual "shook is terrible at planning his time and apparently doesn't want to succeed at life at all" thing. Did i mention how i hate it when she puts words in my mouth? Because i do.

That argument alone wouldn't do much bad on it's own, though. I've heard it SO MANY times before, and if it was as simple as just being like YO I'M ALL FIXED UP NOW YAY, i wouldn't still be having the problems. I forgive her for the outbreaks though, because i know that she's only saying such things because she doesn't want to see me turn into a failure, and she's probably a bit frustrated by the persistence of the problems. I know i am. :I (and make no mistake, when she's not angry, she's a very loving mother)

But every day is Shookmas for Shook!

You are simply not allowed to have existential thoughts when it's Shookmas!

Cheer up or....well...I'll...erm... I'll no longer follow the ancient tradition of Shookmas! There!

It just hit me.

Is there really anything worthwhile to want to go home so bad for?

... I don't really think I have anything like that...
