Control

I have noticed something that I hope my fellow Derma sufferers will give me feedback on:

I tend to pick more, and more "aggressively" when I feel like I have no control over my life and negative changes/events are afoot.

Perhaps that's why I've been doing so much better in the past several months; I realize that there is much more under my control that I thought. I am not an airplane spiraling out of control. I am the captain and I have the wheel, even when there is turbulence.

I may not be able to control everything, but I can control how and whether or not I let myself absorb it.

I hope you'll give that some deep thought.
