Hello, I'm Yong Jing, a psychological counselor. Thanks so much for your question!
From your question, I can sense that you're feeling frustrated on two fronts: unable to accept the situation and unable to solve the problem yourself. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feelings about it. Is it anxiety, or is it a sense of powerlessness and depression, or is it a combination of both? I feel both, but I'm not sure if that's the right way to look at it.
Anxiety can be a tricky thing. It can make us feel a little anxious and at a loss for what to do. But, we're all determined to do something, to solve the problem at hand. This feeling is something we all encounter. For example, when you think about doing something, but your abilities or resources are limited, you may feel this way.
It's okay to say you're not sure you can solve it. We all have different abilities and external circumstances that affect our lives. So, ask yourself: What can you do to make a solution possible? Plan a time for yourself, take action, and gradually meet the conditions for a solution. Remember, achieving anything also requires a combination of circumstances. Your ideas can only be completed with the cooperation of external conditions, and even more so with your own efforts. The way to let go of anxiety is to take planned and practical actions. Anxiety is the direction and also the clarion call to action. Just get started!
I think there's another layer to the questioner's question, which is about difficulty in accepting things. Is that right? When faced with all the things in the world, it's inevitable that there will be many things that are not as you wish. Everyone will encounter this, so I'd love to ask the questioner how you view this difficulty in accepting things, and what kind of feelings you have. Do you feel powerless and frustrated, or is there something else?
It's okay to feel attacked from within when you're trying to accept something hard. We all go through this in life. We grow and evolve by conquering and accepting things. When it's tough to accept, just allow yourself to be where you are. I know it's hard for me too, but I'm doing other things in the meantime. I'll wait for the right time and then I'll face it head on.
You've already got the answer, my friend. All you have to do is choose between solving the problem and accepting it. One is to face it head on, and the other is to put it aside for the time being, accept it, and let go of your emotions. Do what you can do right now, work hard on the part you can do, and leave the result to God. Accompany yourself in the feeling of powerlessness and frustration. We are only ordinary people, not omnipotent or perfect. When you can't do it well, you can say to yourself: "Although I can't do it well, I still love myself as I always have."
I really hope my answer is helpful!
