Hi Brandy. Good point, but I don’t know what that means, as in I don’t know how to not mind my distress. I don’t know how to let go, how to accept everything that’s happening to me as is. I am taking everything too seriously because I feel like if I do not then I am screwed. I have a finite amount of time to rebuild my life, start saving for retirement, and whatever else I have planned, but I feel like a total failure because I am in this position. All those things are making me feel sick. I wish I was one of those people who just says IDGAF and enjoys life. I truly do. I wish I was OK with being where I am now, even if I am the biggest loser in the world, but I can’t because I have some ambitions that are driving me to be more successful than I am now. If I had a caring partner, intimacy, supporting friends, and loving family, I would be happy as hell, but I don’t have a partner, my friends are great, but we grew up in a different culture where men are not soft and we all have to figure sh%t out on our own. My parents love me, but couldn’t support me if their lives depends on it. I also don’t know how to ask for help. Life is hard enough and things are not easy for anyone now, but I am making it much harder for myself because I am distressed about my situation and can’t seem to accept it as is. I am fighting against something, but don’t even know against what.
