You can always say to yourself I am experiencing this and watch it as it goes out of your mind while you get on with the business of the day.
You can always pray for the strength to let it go. This would help.

I hope and pray this will improve for you in the future. Have a really great day. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis
You are right about it only hurting me. I do pray about it. I think one reason I have a hard time letting things go is because I am bipolar. I try and not think about the wrong people do to me. But I find it hard not to. I'm hoping eventually I can let things go more easily. Thank you for your encouraging words. One reason I try to let it go is I know I am only hurting myself.
