Like right now, my room is being painted and everything in it is helter skelter. It’s making me very unhappy. I know in a couple of days it will be back to normal, but right now I’m upset.

I get upset when my routine is messed up and I get very emotional and anxiety
Yes, because we identify with our surroundings.
Same here. I have been holing myself up in my room for a while now, and I get distressed at even the thought of leaving. I can’t handle change anymore. I used to be great, very flexible.
Being so inflexible is, I think, part of the mental impairment.

That’s the only think I miss from my drug using days. I was so spontaneous. I was meeting and partying with new people every day it seems like.
Granted they were thieves, liars, murderers and hookers… but stilI, I miss that spontaneity. I remember I was 28 and living by myself and my friends would come over any time of night and we would go to a club or go get drunk or go somewhere in someone’s car. I didn’t think twice about it. Of course I am not recommending people take drugs, they wrecked my life and almost killed me.

We sacrifice spontaneity for reliability - it’s just a matter of growing up and being realistic. Sometimes sad but then there is more security there.
Yes. I really hate change too.
My dad is severely routine like. It’s like super high functioning autism. He is not spontaneous at all. My mom and step dad are polar opposites. Most people are spontaneous.
I used to be routine like. I didn’t have insight. Never thought I liked routines.
I’m not spontaneous but I’m trying to be. The illness made me more scatterbrained and disorganized.
