Having trouble letting go of control

I think being anxious, too detail oriented and type A, is ruining my experiences, especially when trying to relax and have fun.

Like if in an amusement park, I’ll get worked up over missing one rollercoaster, and doing 5 instead of 6 rollercoasters. Or when I’m on a vacation, I’d get annoyed and stressed by slightly bad cloudy weather on beach and let that spoil my mood.

This controlling behaviour is negatively affecting my relationship and overall happiness, I’m unable to enjoy without stressing over every little imperfection. I end up getting annoyed and upset with my partner almost every time when things don’t go my way.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any idea how to overcome it?
