So glad to hear @keeg1010 has helped you learn to sometimes take your hands off the wheel. Being able to take our hands off the wheel in certain circumstances is a real skill, and often one we have to unlearn rather than learn, depending on the kind of upbringing we had.
It actually reminds me of something Dr. Jackson said in a Seizing Life episode — that the more we fight against something internally, the more activated it becomes, and the more we learn to accommodate it, the more freedom we gain.
It sounds like the worry often falls more on your family's shoulders than your own. How do you handle that? Just a thought, Louis — perhaps you could start a discussion about it here in our group. I believe it's a challenge many of us face. If you ever need a hand getting a new discussion started, just let me know!
I'm very happy to see you're holding onto that glass-half-full view.😃
Chris

Hi Chris,

Yeah I’m sure this may help others. Although I believe most in this forum are the ones with this condition, any advice to living with it together with family members successfully will sure help. Maybe for those with depression too. People with different culture and upbringing can also share experiences together.

Cheers,
Louis
