Feeling alone and frustrated with a 180.

[Psych77]

Dear A. Chaos (sorry, I never was very good at Greek)

I appreciate your help. One of my problems is that, while I often know what my problems are, I seldom can think, in the moment, of specific strategies to fix them. That is where what you are saying is very helpful.

Another issue of mine is being reactive. Think of every test or task you've done where the instructions said, "Don't go back and correct yourself, just keep moving forward." On every one of those, I went back to correct myself anyway. Trying to fix what I already did, and sacrificing what is coming toward me now. I'm working on accepting my past mistakes and just looking toward the future, but when you want to be right all the time, that is quite a challenge.

Anyway, thanks again. My prayers are with you, trying to recover your relationship.
