I've been hating allot lately. Most of it is easily validated as legitimately hate-worthy stuff, but hate is not the most easily controlled emotion in Nature. It escalates beyond the legitimate hatred far more easily than it sits in the appropriate corner awaiting its call to arms. The legitimate beginnings spill into the rest of my life before I know it.
"Radical Acceptance" has been my most effective tool in quieting my hate habit. The hate hurts me far more than it hurts the object of my hatred. While my hatred is corroding the depths of my soul, the object of my hatred just keeps on ticking. Accepting that ^it^ is what ^it^ is whether I understand ^it^ or knot seems to help me toward serenety.
Thoughts? Opines? Am I making sense?

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
When I’m feeling that way & I keep trying to kinda push through it or push it away it eats me alive & then I start beating up myself in my head on top of switching back & forth between what I’m already hating & how I ‘should’ be handling it & then it’s just spiraling!
but when I actually am able at times to sit back & say yeah I hate that situation & you know what I have every rite to be angry about it because yea it does suck & that’s okay that I’m not okay with it.
it doesn’t change it but it makes me feel less insane that I can’t change it or understand it
It’s just really hard for me to control when I finally can get to the radical acceptance part because sometimes it takes a while to get there for me, but there is something strangely freeing in those moments (even though & after I realize it still sucks)
I hope I made sense cause I sure can confuse myself as well
Sending you support & hugs <3
All the stuff before hate is just sub-emotions of hate...feels like you're close to the finish line to me.
Small steps, big faith and lots of prayer (by whatever name).
