When things aren't stable

[kelden]

I Just push the "panic" button and fill everyone with despair for crowd control , now seriously. Dealing with change is frightening as it is exciting, as long as is not necessarily bad. I take a deep breath and let them be, because in my mind, as long as I'm alive, I can deal with any challenge.

I'm really bad at dealing with changes. I hate change. It messes up my safe routine and everything. But sometimes' date=' there's just no other way but to allow change in your life. When changes happen, i get really stressed out trying to find a safe zone, sometimes it takes days for me to get used to the change but it happens and then this new change becomes my new comfort zone.[/quote']
I agree with you totally that sometimes there is nothing you can do but allow the change to happen and try your best to get through it with as little anxiety as possible. I think it also helps when you consistently train yourself to push the boundaries of your comfort zone a little more each day. Do at least one thing that scares you everyday and eventually you will find that your comfort zone has expanded beyond your wildest dreams.

I find that my anxiety really peaks when I am in situations where there is a lot of change and things aren't stable.

Right now my husband is contemplating leaving his job when his current contract is up in a year. I don't think he would have trouble finding another job - he's a successful marketable guy - but as I'm a SAHM right now and we have a little one, I worry about her, I worry about potentially moving, about where our income will be coming from... I worry about all that kind of stuff!

How good are you at dealing with change? Any particular things that trigger anxiety in you?

Change really does bother me but what alerted me to your post was its title. I am anxious at the moment because things are not stable across the globe. I'm worriedly watching what North Korea is getting up to and I'm pretty scared for all of our futures.

The current situation with NK gives me a lot of anxiety as well. We not only have had terror attacks here in Britain, where you kind of become afraid to just go to a concert, but now the whole NK debacle ist just straining me.
Im getting really scared sometimes.
