My dad gave me "this too shall pass", and my brother taught me to be less fearful... I wish I could share them both with everyone.
Really and truely everything passes... Good and bad. But it's only when it's bad that you really need it. We all know this but just need to remember it.
And then not being afraid...I think we need to consider the worst - for a moment, but also only give it a brief consideration. Then we need to weigh the positives and maybe think on those a little longer. It sounds dumb but I hope you're hearing me.
Also can I say, don't be obsessed with labels for yourself. You're a unique person unlike any other, so no label like OCD or ADHD captures all that is you. Forget the labels.
Love the advice! Thank you!
That shits my life's motto fr fr. Really helps to put things into perspective.
