How do I feel less overwhelmed by all the changes?

[BrightBubblyKat]

I’m facing so many changes all at once. I’m starting volunteer work twice a week, rejoining choir group once a week, joining a new church group over the weekend and I finally scared off my stalker. I’m also changing therapists, for my depression and anxiety disorder. So these are all good changes, but they’re a lot to take in all at once, especially when you’re Autistic. My question is, how do most people stay calm with so much change in their lives? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks 😊👍

That's awesome that you have all this good stuff going on! :)

Some of this you have control over. I'd say that the new therapist is of primary importance because it contributes to your well-being. But the volunteer work, choir, and church group is A LOT all at once -- and all of those are choices. They're GREAT choices, but they're choices.

So, my advice is change therapists, and then pick one activity from that optional list. Let your life settle. Add the next one. And so on. It allows to change at your pace and perhaps not feel overwhelmed.
