What kind of changes have you had to cope with?

How well or badly did you cope?

What helped you cope better?

What kind of changes happened a long time ago, that you still can't cope with?

For something that will be recurring I try to incorporate it with my other routines.

And when stuck with something new that is unavoidable, I find it best to not waste energy trying to avoid it. Just go with it.

I've had to constantly cope with changes in my parents' unpredictable attitudes in all the times I've been living with them, and their taking me by surprise with their idiocy. Even in my own apartment I still have to deal with them via text message since I'm still financially dependent upon them (and I can't work regular jobs since I'm disabled) and they pay my rent.

Moving out was a change. The demise of the original Routemaster was another one. The big change in the January of 2016 when i decided to be myself. I tried going without my favourite hat for 4 months.

I coped pretty well with moving out. The demise of the original Routemaster was a fiasco.

The big change was difficult because of my mum's attitude towards Germany and Germans.

Let's just say that I'm wearing that cloth "helmet" again.

The demise of the AEC Routemaster still misses with my mind.

I just lost my job so that's something I m coping with right now. The biggest challenge will be trying to save money while on the disability pension.

The last big change was when our house contents had to be moved so the new floor could be laid. We rent so we couldn't say no to it. I hope never to go through it again.
