When life throw's different curve balls at you so to speaks i.e. whether it be change of job, environment, etc. how would one go about coping with such changes? I mean I have such a difficult time I usually have a meltdown but I'm really looking towards working on this area of my life so I can better myself and not let things affect me so extremely. Anyone else have this problem?

It's just so freaking hard. There is more to this issue than just "changes" both people have their lives in full swing and both people have schedules to consider. It's harder than just saying: "Oh, just adapt" because it is not such a superficial subject we are dealing with....and you know that as well.

This is something I think we all struggle with. I'm preparing for a move and a job change right now and it's causing severe anxiety and major trouble sleeping at night. It's a positive thing (more pay) but the change is causing me to be very stressed. I don't have any huge reserves of wisdom on this because I still struggle with it, and if you manage to come up with a good method of managing it, please do share!

I think a lot of it has to do with reassuring yourself and being patient with yourself. I just moved a week ago from a flat shared with one person to a boarding house with communal meals, bathrooms etc.

I have a lot of work I could be doing for uni but I'm finding myself having to take it slow and having a lot of down time because it's the kind of adjustment that does take a lot out of me mentally and physically. You have to let yourself have the time and space to adjust - people might expect you to do it instantly but it just doesn't work that way.

Throw yourself into into it. You're overthinking it all.
