That's not to say that I cannot find better ways to deal with anxiety and live a more comfortable life, but I do have to accept that some days I'm just going to be more anxious than others. I think when I initially sought help for my anxiety i wanted a "cure" - some kind of magic therapy or pill that would just make me not anxious anymore - and that of course does not exist. So yeah, there's that "acceptance" word again...but it really helps to seek it. I hope your move goes well and you find a really nice new place to call home.
wow....that was incredibly articulate and i think something i was unable to communicate. thank you for the help. i'm going to mention that to my therapist.
