Do you find yourself feeling exhausted, hopeless, and stuck when trying to fix, avoid, or control difficult and painful thoughts, feelings, or sensation?.  That is really normal.

But think about how much more you are getting trapped as you struggle to fix, get rid of, or control this issue.  Is it like the finger trap?  The more you pull the tighter it gets?  If so think about how you can stop the struggle, realize that the current approach is unworkable, and maybe do something different and counter intuitive.  Such as simply accepting this issue and pain for what it is and reducing your struggle, which in the long run will free you up more.  Play around with this idea and approach.
