Stop setting goals, let go!

Philippines
November 11, 2017 10:18am CST
I tell myself that, but old habits die hard. I need to set goals. I need to have a plan. It always has been my habit. But, in the past three years, my plan of getting pregnant never came to pass. It made me angry with God, whom I used to trust wholeheartedly. It started my depression and anxiety. And everything just went spiralling down from there on in. And even though I tell myself a million times to stop planning everything. I can't stop, the sad part is I overthink now, and I worry too much.

You should not over think to this goal all the time, this does not help and makes you stressed. Try to find a way to relax and stop worrying too much.

I do know that but sadly the habit of planning everything just won’t stop, thus I get disappointed when my plan doesn’t come to pass, however I am trying to let it go...but I’m a long way from really getting there...

Maybe you plan too much of your pregnancy dream. Because you want it eagerly the more pressure you are thus the depression come, and when you are depressed the more it will be harder for you to get pregnant.

@ilocosboy I actually am in a rural area and the beach is close to my house...while it does help to clear my mind sometimes it’s not enough...but I’m trying...this is why I rejoined here because I can’t express myself in my real world for I worry how my family and friends would respond only my husband is aware of what I’m going through...

Learning how to quit worrying so much is the easy part. Learning to Let Go and Let God or give everything to god is the hard part. It would be easier if there could be more of a Trust thing and know everything is going to be alright.
