Change is something I have always found incredibly difficult. Even small shifts in routine or unexpected events can feel overwhelming, and the thought of larger changes fills me with anxiety. I hate it—not because I dislike growth or new experiences, but because when change happens, I struggle. I am not good at it. My mind races, my focus slips, and my sense of stability feels shattered. It affects my mental health in ways that are hard to contain; the stress and uncertainty linger long after the change itself has passed.
I know that change is inevitable, and part of life is learning to adapt—but knowing this doesn’t make it any easier. Instead, it amplifies a sense of frustration with myself. I wish I could handle transitions more gracefully, but in reality, I feel lost, vulnerable, and exhausted. It’s like standing in a storm with no shelter; I endure it, but I don’t feel strong while I do.
Acknowledging this struggle is uncomfortable, yet I recognize that it’s an honest part of who I am. I may not embrace change naturally, and that’s okay. Accepting that I find it hard—and that it affects my mental health—is the first step toward being gentler with myself when life inevitably shifts around me.
