Dealing with daily transitions..Any tips?

DeeMo

Hi,

Does anyone struggle with transitions? With this I mean simply changing from one activity to another in the day? Eg, when I am at work, when I come home, my anxiety goes bonkers. I find it hard to have a change of activity. I don't know how to digest my day, my feelings, and move on to the next activity.  Just feel exhausted,  overwhelmed,  and can't chill.

Any tips? Thanks so much!

  • My report mentioned making use of "transitions objects" but I don't know what they are. Maybe it could be something sensory pleasing. When I went back to work after lockdown during which I got my diagnosis,  I wore smart jeans and my non work boots. I feel that wearing these things which I'd wear anyway help a bit as I feel more comfortable in the day to begin with. I make sure when I get home I have time to do what I need to do (sit and stare, have a brew, come on here - whatever is needed). Make sure you allow time for this. Maybe try mindfulness meditation breathing.
