Have you ever realized that the issues going on in your life aren’t really issues anymore? That it’s just the new normal?

I have no control over any of it. All I can do is accept it all and take things as they come. I keep wondering if this is my karma. Am I now paying for mistakes I made in my past? Or did I just finally give up? I am really confused.

Everything in my life turned upside down about three months ago and I’m trying to accept that this is just how it is. There have been times in my life that my world was turned upside down and I had no control over it and yet it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I’m trying to hold onto that thought because maybe there are new beginnings and opportunities that I just don’t know about yet.

Every day I look for reasons to be grateful, reasons to be kind, and ways to accept what I cannot control. It’s a struggle but I’m not going in circles quite as much as I was at first.

@LilyMop

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Honeybunny)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) It's hard figuring out what hurts and facing that reality. This is so courageous of you to do!!

If there is ANYTHING I can do, let me know. xoxoxoxox

My issues are very normal these day. I used to think that they would change or go away. My issues have remains worse or in neutral for 5 years. I have been setting goals and affirmations to help build a stable foundation. The worst part is accepting what I cannot control. I thank my therapists for their support and dedication. They never lead me down the wrong path and they provide positive support. My life is bipolar. One day it is a black light and the next day it is a white light. Someone can flip my switch pretty quickly. I have to watch for temptation and correct my deficiencies.
I am searching for another better new normal. Pets help my emotions. I actually wonder how other peoples emotions are inside their heart. I am sure it is better then mine. Sometimes, I question God why I have this mental illness? I get angry at God and usually he corrects it. Why is not the world perfect? I have so many questions that are unanswered. I seek answers and I will find the truth. THANKS THE 'NEW NORMAL'

It is Hard to Accept the new Situations in our Lives, but it can be Done, with Time and Patience. Yes, We can't Control Everything. But We can at least try to control how We Feel in Regards To Certain Events or Situations. I'm Wishing the BEST of Luck to You All! You're all AMAZING AND WONDERFUL! Sending many safe, warm hugs to both You, @LilyMop, Your Family, Your Friends, EVERYONE and ALL Of Your Loved Ones! Keep Fighting And Keep Rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!

I am sorry for your struggles, LilyMop. I really relate to what you wrote. I have sort of decided that I am just going to accept whatever comes my way and stop trying to fight for a reality that just isn't mine anymore. I am much more at peace since making that decision. The reality is, I am really sick a lot of the time. That's what I do. I be bipolar. That is the deal. For me. Now.

I hope you feel bettr soon. I do believe there is peace in acceptance.
