Can't Seem to Let Go of Worry
It's like I am choosing to be unhappy. Ever since Friday's trigger, I just can't seem to bounce back. It's funny that I have such an issue with controlling everything else in my life, but I can't seem to take control of my own happiness. Wish I knew how to worry only about the things I can actually control and then let the rest go.
In the end, everyone I love has food, clothing and shelter, and they're alive and generally well. Everything else is just extra. So I shouldn't worry about it. But I do. And sometimes I'm mad that I'm the only one worrying, but I think it's because I'm jealous that everyone else can let go and move on, but I can't.
@thoughtfulmomma Hi there, thank you for reaching out today. 
I know it can be really difficult to bounce back to feeling okay after we feel triggered by something. Taking control of your own happiness is something that takes a lot of time and effort, and just working on that shows an immense amount of strength. You are very in tune with your emotions and that is very important. Best of luck and feel free to reach out to a listener anytime.
Thoughtfulmom, I can literally feel your post. I’m sorry for being selfish, it’s just nice to know I’m not alone. I feel like I’ve given up all but worrying. Constantly. You’re in my thoughts.
