When dealing with things doesn't have the desired effect it can leave us feeling a little helpless, it's normal. The good thing is, that we can apply more of the same, double down on the dealing with it thing and push on. Sometimes it feels like a step forward and two back, but a step forward is a step forward and in itself can give us a little momentum.

Feeling helpless is never a good place to be, but the only way to overcome that is indeed to do something even if just to shake the feeling somewhat. I always find that trying to weigh the steps forward with the ones backwards just keeps me feeling shitty so I try to focus on the forward momentum more than the setbacks and as I deal with the setbacks and resolve them, I find the momentum increases again. But you know what they say, everything in life is like a pendulum, the trick is to just hold the fuck on and keep going.
