Hey everyone just wondering if anyone has ever felt like this before.... I have a reallyl hard time dealing with somthing feeling different or changing things. Like i just had a huge breakdown last week cause my glasses were feeling funny now i got new ones and some contacts and just have a hard time with change like it ruins my days if somthing feels off... like sometimes ill even say things like Oh my glasses feel off today cant feel better til they do... ik that may sound kinda of odd.

Yes I know exactly what you mean! If I am in a good place anxiety wise, this kind of thing will not affect me, but if I am struggling with stress...every little change or feeling of something being off will bother me!

I think that it takes all of our concentration and effort to stay on top of the anxiety in our daily life, and a small disruption in the status quo can just be too much.

Keep working on your stress management skills everyday (breathing/relaxation exercises, hobbies, walking, ect...) and that will help...so that when things are disrupted or different, it will not derail you.

Also repeat positive phrases to yourself like "My glasses may feel off, but this is okay because they are new, but I can still feel good about things!"

I hope you feel better soon, and keep posting!

S.C.
