How do you guys deal with change? I am one of those people who feels anxiety if there is a change in my everyday routine. So last year, I had to move several times in a few weeks, out of the dorm into an apartment, out of the apartment to nowhere, back into another dorm, back to maine into a car, into an apartment, and a few months later into a dorm again. I'm praying i get to stay in this dorm all year. But how does a person like me, who wants to stick with a certain schedule every day, in the same places, deal with something like that? I completely broke down, I do not ever want to break down like that in the future. Any suggestions as to how you guys deal with change, small or large?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I think prevention is the best cure.
Also, in any school or work setting in the US, you do have the option of calling on Section 504 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It offers "reasonable accommodations" to "level the playing field" for those with, OR SUSPECTED OF HAVING, disabilities.
In that case, you may have been offered a separate dorm room, in a different area, to stay in throughout the period of change, or whatever. Some type of accommodation to keep you from having the relative trauma of change.
Those in other countries, you may ask for such reasonable accommodations! Even though it may not be a law, you can always request things like that, to advocate for yourself!!

I am afraid to say "currently not in need of change" because someone will think I'm wearing diapers. Maybe not...it Depends. But, I like the concept.
