Me, a person with anxiety: "How are you not anxious about this possible situation?"
Husband: "Well, I can't do anything to change it."
Me: "... I don't see how that's relevant."
@TarkabarkaHolgy This is my constant refrain atm just between me and me.
@TarkabarkaHolgy
Life falls into 2 categories for me.
Things I can do things about.
Things I can't.
The triage of figuring out which is which is more complicated, but at least it let's me let go of some of it.
Easier said than done, I know.
Just my 2 cents.
@TarkabarkaHolgy So much this! I couldn't sleep this morning due to a memory of something that didn't even happen to me!
@TarkabarkaHolgy Yeah, see, the brain weasels know I will be punished for not worrying about it later if I fail to do so now.
