Hey so is it normal to get so freaked out you cry when there are sudden changes to your schedule because you had a plan and suddenly it’s all ruined 💀

That’s actually a very common experience for neurodivergent people, specifically those with autism like myself! Of course having that issue with schedule changes doesn’t mean you have to have a mental disability, but it’s something to keep in mind. Just be patient with yourself and understand that the “freaking out” is something many other people experience

This happens every time my work changes the schedule from what they set when they send out the schedule for the week. They change it at random times and it makes me spiral 💀 Ironically this time I’m having to cancel therapy because I scheduled therapy on a day I was supposed to be off. But now I have to cancel therapy to go to the job that’s causing me to have to go to therapy

As someone that just has crippling anxiety I can also relate! I mentally prepare for work and when that changes, especially last minute I spiral. I can handle schedule deviations but when it’s for something like work where I’m “trapped” there and not like the time of plans with a friend that I’m not “trapped” at its catastrophic

I’ve wondered about that for a while. I always just assumed I wasn’t. I’ve always been like “no I think I handle change fine” but now I’m realizing I’ve always been fairly in control of my schedule💀
