Robin this video is insanely perfectly timed for me, my therapist told me this week that control is my only coping mechanism I use in my life. He then asked me what I can control in my life and after listing a couple things he said I actually don’t have control over anything. I can manage things, influence things, but control is a black and white thing and I don’t have total control over anything important. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders cause I realised subconsciously I’ve been putting so much stress on myself for not being able to manage these things and he helped me realise that it’s out of my control.
Same here. Everytime i try to get back to tasks in reality my nind puts out existential questiins and says whats the point and im unable to live in the moment... how do you get out of this? @blueboyfm1
Thank you so much! Your message has helped me understand this so much more than anything else I’ve been exposed to. You are making a real positive difference in people’s lives.

It made so much sense why things such as existential thoughts distress me so much though because it’s something I have no control over
