I am tired of change

Post Reply New Topic

For the last 6 years of my life, I have endured nothing but life changing events and they have not changed for the better. First, I lost my grandma unexpectedly 6 years ago. After she died, my family had to sell her house that she lived in for 50 years and the house where I had lots of memories. A year after she died, my grandfather died suddenly. Then I started losing an aunt, an uncle, and some cousins. My is in foreclosure and my family and I had to move into a smaller rental house and I had to get rid of a lot of stuff which was not easy. I am just tired of dealing with all of this. Nothing is the same anymore. All of these life changing events have seem to hit me all at once or close together. I have suffered so many losses of people in my life and things. I am tired of all this stuff happening to me. I just don't see how life is going to get any better. I have been through a lot in recent years and I just wish that it would end. I am not a person who handles change well. I despise change, especially change that I have no control over. I know that change is something that many Aspies struggle with. Nobody understands what I have had to go through. They just expect me to accept it and be happy which I am finding it hard to do.

Wow, you really have been through a lot of big changes recently. Change is hard for me too. Moving is especially hard on me. When I was a kid, maybe six years old, my parents got a new couch and they put the old one at the curb for the garbage men to take away. I cried and cried and cried. It was not until decades later when I was diagnosed with ASD that I understood why I reacted so strongly to that situation. Sorry, I realized that story does not help your situation any, except to say I understand how hard change is. Is there anything familiar that you can go to for comfort like some favorite music, book, movie or whatever?
