What do you do when you’re frustrated about things outside of your control?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

There’s nothin you can do to change it, but accepting it as it is just isn’t an option right now. What do you do with that pent-up frustrated energy?

I'm actually dealing with this right now with my parents split. My dad keeps trying to use me to get my mom to take him back but I keep telling him that I'm not a mouthpiece, nor can I make her take him back as it's their issue only for that conversation to go nowhere fast. If you're in a situation where you can't just accept the situation but can't control it one thing that helps me is talking to a therapist about it. That way I'm not holding my stress in but am also getting it out in a healthy way. Another thing you can do is activities that take you away from thoughts of the situation such as exercise, going on nice, long walks, meditation, listening to music, getting involved in volunteering, etc.

I've seen myself using different possibilities to vent:

• video games (action based or not)
• photography (yes, really!)
• sexuality (indirectly, but still, lol)
• biking (obvious)
• punching ball (obvious)
• walking (obvious)
• writing (!)

Nothing is ever totally out of your control, but don't expect everything to go according to plan. Life just doesn't work like that.
