Only handling what I can handle

[Oct7skye]

These past few days have been a bit overwhelming. Every time I turn around it’s something new. I have worked really hard to complete everything that’s been given to me and known for complying and organization. I also, don’t do well with a lot of unnecessary changes. It causes too much confusion when you have too many people involved. All this mess, has had my anxiety and depression in full effect. Has had me feeling defeated and just ready to give up all together. But as I’m at work, in deep concentration I asked my self. Who are they? What gives them the right to dictate my destiny? At this moment I realized I’m letting other people and things control my life. People and things that actually serve no purpose in my life. I have to stay strong and only work on the things I have control over. Worry about everything else when it comes to the stage where I can control it.

Good for you!!! More often than not, we allow people to negatively impact us and until we can come to the realization that they cannot dictate our reality or happiness we will not hold them to account. I'm rooting for you!!

I would do better to let go of things I can’t control.

Anxiety bites the big one!

I love the strength and determination that you carry even in the midst of a difficult situation. You should be proud of yourself just for the realization you have come to here. I believe this is only the beginning to complete freedom from your depression and anxiety and this control piece. You are so much stronger than you think and full of hope! Bravo for you!!!
