Well, we both know that if you could "just get over it", you certainly would have by now. It's not like this stuff is fun and enjoyable.
I had a big dog once - in a tiny, muddy back yard. When I rescued the dog from a downpour once by gathering him into my postage-stamp size kitchen, he shook all over . . . and then he shook AGAIN. It took a long time to first get the dog clean and dry, and then restore my kitchen! The tasks just went on and on - and in the months to come I continued to discover amazing places shaken mud could land.
I'm not comparing you to my dog - but I am comparing your "clean-up job" with my kitchen rescue. You never asked for this huge job you've now got to do - and you were totally unprepared for it. In some ways, it's like asking a non-runner to show up for the Boston marathon! But many people just don't understand that.
Even the apostle Paul in the New Testament had something he couldn't get over - he called it his "thorn in the flesh" - a "messenger of Satan." (II Corinthians 12:7) Remember what a bold, mighty soulwinner Paul was?
But this thing - whatever it was - hindered his way. Do you feel like you're dragging around a "messenger of Satan"? Paul even asked God three times to take it away. God didn't take it away, but He gave Paul a message that ministered to him deeply and has sustained countless faltering saints since: "And He (God) said unto me (Paul), 'My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'" (II Corinthians 12:9)
Ignore those who say, "Just get over it." Don't take those words to heart. Instead, respond with, "I am - a little more every day," and tell yourself over and over: "I AM making progress. I am doing what I can to overcome this. Things will get better."
And know - you are a walking testimony to God's grace. He is showing Himself sufficient to you in very unexpected and unfamiliar ways. The weakness you have experienced is being swallowed up into God's strength - a little bit more every day.
Imagine sharing a burden similar in size with someone as great and victorious as the Apostle Paul!
