I often future trip to the point that I make myself sick. I try to give it to my higher power but sometimes that's easier said than done. How do I give him something that I have no control over?

I think in the end, control is an illusion for all of us. And that brings up lots of feelings for me, but maybe that's okay too. Working on feeling the feels associated with surrender.

…echoing what Court has relayed, Gabrielle.
Yes.
Every day, I wake up with so much anxiety, catastrophizing…
I do not belong to a particular faith…while one cannot go wrong with the Serenity Prayer, I feel as if…know?
Other tools that have helped:
- breathing exercises: exercise period; meditation…so many guided ones available if just starting out…

I also read recently that it helps to block out time for worry…yep.
I am gonna try to do that, beginning uh-now!
It may sound a bit dopey?
While there are articles about so…and they make absolute sense to me.
Conduct online searches for anxiety, worry, letting go…you get the pic…this is when I love the interwebs…when it actually helps us with the resources which many of us need.
Wishing you and your daughter the best, Gabrielle!

Just today in out patient we discussed the power of affirmations, turning negative thought into positive.
"I can accept things I can not control"
" I will not obsessively think about the future"
'I can and will live each day in the now"
"Each day I grow stronger"
I included a link for you to investigate further.. filling ourselves with negative energy brings us megative outcomes.
Best of luck.
