Apologies as I know this is totally trivial.
In a nutshell, we have been having a lot of trouble with our builder, who is doing our extension. He did most of the job and then disappeared about 6 months ago when the job was in the final stages.
We are now starting legal proceedings to either force him to finish up (we're not in the UK and lockdown has been eased here, so he could come back but hasn't) or to be sacked and pay us back the money he owes. Either way it's going to be a drawn-out, expensive and frustrating process.
The rational part of me knows that I have absolutely nothing to complain about. I have a house and money on top of that to extend it, I have a job and an income, and (as far as I know) a healthy family. I KNOW I should count my blessings. But the irrational part of me is spending hours every day fixating on this situation and getting more and more angry and miserable.
What can I do to manage my (over)reaction to this situation? Any advice is very welcome. Thanks
