Title: Do you have trouble letting go?
Post by: debidoo on October 05, 2018, 08:47:01 am
I have a lot of trouble letting go of life's problems and difficulties even when there is absolutely nothing I can do about them. I try to put stuff out of my mind but I just become obsessed with thinking about them on a daily basis.  I try praying about them especially when there is not concrete action I can take or I have done all I can but nothing seems to work. Do you have this problem as well or are you able to just move on.

No, I don't have an issue with it.  Pray and put it in God's hands and leave it there.

yes debidoo I do. I try very hard not to, but sometimes it just happens, usually when Im feeling down about something then I start rehashing in my brain all the things that I can not change. Alot of them was having no closure about.

I have trouble  at times with letting my children go. Both passed away at early ages and  once in a while something will crop up and bring them to mind. But for the most part I try not  to let it upset me.  The Lord called both home  and it  took me awhile to  put it  all in his hands. I know they are in good hands.

Well, it rather depends on the circumstances involved.  I have been in life situations where I moved on relatively easily, and there have been several that have been difficult beyond belief.  In the latter case, it took several years to move beyond the feelings that resulted, and at times, still haunt me to a degree.  In these cases, it is usually trying to examine further why it happened and if I could have done anything differently or if I even would have wanted to.

To a certain degree I think everyone does.

I am doing better at that.  Why make myself miserable? It is only hurting me.  The person you do not like could care less.  There are people who hate me and I have no idea why.  There is a girl I went to school with that I saw recently at Walmart.  The snarl and look of hate on her face when she saw me astounded me.  I am like what is your issue?  We graduated a long time ago.  I do not even remember much other than who she is.  I do remember we were never friends.  I don't remember why, nor do I care.  I don't remember being enemies either. Just she wasn't a person I talked to or hung out at school with.

I have the same problem. I can't stop thinking and over thinking about things. It takes a long time for the problems not weigh on my mind.

It can take a long time for before anyone can let go of their problems or troubles.

Letting go is an issue for me but in a different way. It is too easy to dismiss people and not let them back in my life. I give people a lot of breaks but find that if they continue to take advantage of me I will block them from my life. This easy detachment probably stems from lack of any effort, from my father, to be in my life. My father was a somewhat despicable being in that he hated everyone (including himself). He has been reaching out for the last ten years but I will not let him in. He tried speaking to my children, I think as a means to getting to me, but they sized him up as the hateful person that he is, were very busy, and stopped corresponding with him. I think he gave up a year ago on me and my children. I found out that he gave his antique car collection to my sister-who has also been dismissed from my life after a spent a year trying to save her from her suicide attempts.

Yes, I definitely have this problem. I overthink things and worry needlessly. But I try my best to stay positive.

In the immortal words of my mother:  Let Go and Let God.  Easier said than done sometimes.

Thank you so much for all your replies.  It is comforting to know I am not the only one who has this issue but I wish no one did because it is stressful.  Also I am happy for those who don't have this problem.  Have a blessed day all of you.

Yes. I’m still used to having had severe anxiety, and such a condition cannot go away fast at all.

I do too. I sometimes have flashbacks on what someone did to me. Especially when they don't apologize or acknowledge it. I just try not to think about them or what they have done.

Yeah, I let go with claw marks on everything.

WEll that depends. Some things I do; but others I can just remind myself why I want to forget that.

I do what I can and when I get to the point that I can't do any more, I give it over to the Lord in prayer.

most of the time I can move on pretty easily

I tend to be very high-strung and so it is usually difficult for me to let things go, especially when they are beyond my control.

You have to move on. You have to learn form it and the more you able to cope with it.

Letting go sounds easy, but sometimes it isn't, depends on the circumstances, you have to be strong in heart and mind.

It just depends on what I am letting go of.

Depends on the situation. Sometimes it's hard to move on.

Why do you punish yourself like that?  Holding on to something only stress you out more, the longer you keep holding on.  If it's not positive, get rid of it.  You are hurting yourself and I do mean physically.

It depends on what it is. If you are trying to let go of abuse or other traumatic experiences then maybe a psychologist can help. If it is just small things then try meditation.

I do tend to dwell on things. My marriage ended over a year and a half ago and I'd be lying if I said I don't think about it every day. I know my ex-husband could care less -- he has a hot, young boy-toy to take my place and he was always a total *bleep* to me. It just hurts when you're that close to someone, that it can all be over in a minute. I have someone new in my life too, someone I actually like a lot better than my ex-husband. But it's still hard knowing my marriage didn't work out and I'm not 100% blameless in the events that led to the divorce.

For the most part no, I try to move on and not block what might be my next blessing; I do  think some things are harder then other to let go of.
