Never have words spoken so resoundingly to me throughout my life as these have. My greatest trial, my greatest pitfall, has always been ACCEPTANCE. Acceptance of those things I cannot change. Any unexpected variant to my life, and I am speaking of things that are troublesome or problematic, and I am overtaken by intense anxiety and agitation. At these times, the only thing I can think is, "No, no, no! It can't be this way. I don't want it to be this way, I don't want this to deal with. I want it to be like it was before." Sitting lodged at this impasse, I cannot even begin to tackle the problem at hand because I simply refuse to accept it. I also cannot enjoy anything else around me because my mind is consumed with the problem, and nonacceptance of it.
First let me say how wonderful this is, you have such a way with words.

Secondly, when I read this, expecially the above paragraph I almost started bawling. I'm dealing with something right now and it's just consuming me. It may not seem like anything to some people, but to me it's everything. So these words are EXACTLY the way I feel. You say it better for me than I can say it myself.
I feel as if it was fate that you posted this.
I will try to take it with me in dealing with my problem.
Thank You Jess
