I’ll explain the title. 

I’m beginning to feel like my feelings of sadness and anxiety are ruling my life. They're preventing me from getting away from my depression. I’ve also become increasingly worse about ruminating over them. It’s like my mind spirals, and I can’t stop myself.

At what point (and how) do I get better at rationalizing my emotions? How can I expedite this process? I almost feel like detaching from my fears and becoming slightly more callous is necessary for a while. But how on earth do I take steps towards doing that?
