NMMMR Tips on dealing with change?

[redheadbaker]

Background: I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety. I'm currently not medicated (need to see my psychiatrist for an Rx renewal, waiting for an answer on when my health coverage kicks in).

Obviously, I'm happy to be working again. The company I'm working for has a good reputation for being family-friendly. I've never dealt well with change (homesick while living at college, initial bouts of sadness when moving to a new apartment).

I can't explain why I feel like crying. It's not like I want to sit home feeling useless.

Has anyone else dealt with feeling like this? Tips for getting over it?

I am feeling a lot of the same exact things you described, right down to finding out today when the new health coverage will kick in so I can do something about it.  Though it's been so rough lately, I started googling around for options to just pay out of pocket and deal with what's going on.  I don't have a lot of advice but would love to hear other's suggestions.

I've never dealt well with change either. For me the sadness usually came when I realize that we are going to leave the apartment and lease is ticking down. Change didn't affect me as badly when I was single and carefree. Right now, I am dying at the lack of structure. Not so much at home, but with my erratic job.

((hugs)) Sometimes change is hard for me too. I try to focus on the positive aspects of the change. I also find it helpful to plan/make to do lists, anything that helps me feel like I have control. It's also ok to feel overwhelmed/sad/worried etc. Be kind to yourself.
