It sounds like changed expectations are the culprit, not the content
of the expectations but your reaction to them.

events..."

wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a
tranquil flow of life..."
"Men are not worried by things, but by their ideas about things. When
we meet difficulties, become anxious or troubled, let us not blame
others, but rather ourselves, that is: our idea about things ... Some
things are up to us and some are not up to us. Our opinions are up to
us, our impulses, desires, aversions, in-short whatever is our doing.
Our bodies are not up to us, nor our possessions, our reputations, or
our public offices, or that is, whatever is not of our own doing..."
