Accepting Uncertainty About Important Things

Didn’t you ask this same question yesterday? If so, you’re seeking reassurance and you know that an or helpful.

I think its because we are stressed with uncertainty and fixate on it whereas others don't as much. It might be a misapplication of our problem solving skills, overthinking, our sense of compassion etc. So because everyone is different, we will have different struggles. We also need to accept that we can learn and move on, because if we can't act and move on, then we might be stuck in the past and anxiety could consume us. When it comes to what ifs, sometimes our minds are perhaps more imaginative than others, sometimes we have stronger curiosity too. So we need to be aware of this and not jump to any conclusions. When it comes to emotions, I highly recommend congitive behavioral therapy but ofc ERP is the gold standard for OCD. For cognitive behavioral therapy, you can try the chatbot Woebot which will teach you how to understand emotions and deal with them. Everyone has emotions, it's grounded in a part of the brain, but we can learn to deal with them and everyone can change - hopefully this provided some insight and hope

yes. sorry to tell you this, but we do have to accept uncertainty. all the things you are describing is ocd ive had too, and i think it can really derail our lives. if it is any comfort to you, it might seem unfair, but everyone needs to learn to live with uncertainty. not just people with ocd. life is full of uncertainty, and it might come easier to some people to accept it, but we all have to. life is unfair. but it isn’t your fault. it can get better for you. it might feel scary now, but the only true comfort you will ever find willl be in accepting uncertainty.

Everyone has to deal with uncertainty. It's just we are more aware of it than others. I think the problem lies in the sense that we think something bad is always gonna happen and more than that, that we aren't gonna be able to handle it. Such lies. We all have dealt with difficult things and we are still here. We have learned and grown from those experiences and we are going to grow with future experiences even if they are uncomfortable. But something to get hope from it's the fact than more than 90% of the things we think are gonna go wrong never happen. So we are worrying about nothing really. And we believe that if we worry we can be in control and prepared. Another lie. Btw I'm no expert. I'm practicing and understanding all of this at the same time that I struggle. So don't feel bad or guilty. You aren't not alone. Best thing to do is face uncertainty with the mindset that: "I'll be able to handle whatever comes my way, even if at first doesn't seem like it". And believe me, we will. Hope this helps. Virtual hug 🫂

I’m sorry I can’t advise but just to say this is exactly how I feel too. When it’s about something as important as your relationship why should we have to deal with uncertainty?
