What if it’’s this or what if it’s that … etc, etc, etc. Then I have to figure out what the potential tests/treatments are or will be. Then how will said treatment to above problems affect my family, my job. Oh no, how will I do a,b or c ? Perhaps it’s something they haven’t thought of yet , uh oh…. I’d better investigate. Now I’m a nervous wreck, perhaps I should look into shoring up a cemetery plot. Cue the upset stomach, wringing hands and worry.
It seems ludicrous when I re-read this but in the throes of this going down the rabbit hole because I HAVE to know, it takes Herculean strength to let it go and walk away.
Drew, thank you for this!!! I’m that person! I need to have certainly in all issues, mostly when it comes to be from anxiety. In my last session, my therapist told me “ you don’t need to know” … since then, I’m trying to give importance to the things that I really need to know, it’s liberating and allows me to have space and be engaged with life 🙏🏻✨🌸
Drew you have no idea what this message means to me. I’ve been struggling for months now with physical issues and drs are ordering tests to rule out some pretty serious things. And I literally try to figure out what’s causing this or that to the point of exhaustion. Thank you for this message! Love that you are hear spreading knowledge, and encouragement.
