I actually have not resolved the problem quite yet. I mean, my therapist today was telling me that I can think of "living with a problem" and that I can "learn to live with the problem." That is how I am viewing it now. I thought I could "just get past it." But that doesn't seem to work. It is a real experience. So, I think if I learn to live with the problem, (of course meaning that I ideally don't engage in this behavior anymore at all), then life will get better.
