Recently a lot of changes have been happening around me that I have no control over. Its summer so people go away, my boyfriend my best friend all at the same time and I have to go away to gap year orientation for 3 nights in some boarding school.
I say its ok. I tell myself theres nothing I can do, people go away let them go, dont be selfish but my body hasnt been listening. I ended up crying my eyes out uncontrollably coz I had a stressful day 2 night ago and I coudnt get hold of my boyfriend I didnt know when my next phone call was coming we just email. I told my self to cope, but I got so depressed I had to wake my parent up and talk about it until I solved it, the problem was dealing with this trip this weekend.
I dont know I had a panic attack yesterday on the way home from a grocery store because it was raining they didnt have my food and my bags were heavy. (I really dont understand!!!)
Every time I should change my routine for others my body doesn't agree, I get tense I get frustrated I get hard to breathe. I don't get it!! Why cant I just tell my self change is life and put up with it but I PHYSICALLY CANT. Help! Any advice on how you deal with it ? Or explain why this happens?

Processing alterations in our mental landscape is just one of those things we struggle with. I wish I had a magic pill that made it easier, but sometimes you just have to hold on until the waves of disorientation pass.
I think of it as a logjam in our brains' processing chip - we can process data as well as anyone else - just not as quickly. When the sensory input comes too fast and furious, it's kind of like trying to pass a river through a funnel. And it hurts - emotionally, psychologically, we are literally overwhelmed.
The best remedy I can find is to take some time away from all input, Hide out in a comfortable, familiar place all alone and do something simple and calming, until you feel less panicky. Decompression just takes alone time and a quiet nest.
