Either get used to change in the hopes it will become better, or get used to being miserable in my life you have now. By the way, you’re gonna be uncomfortable in One Direction or the other, so I suggest you choose the better one.
If you hate your life now, but are also terrified to change, you’re gonna have to decide which one is worth, and during that discomfort: things staying the same, the way you hate it, or enduring the terror of the unknown, your life, possibly improving.
I don't think you fully got me here, so let me explain it better.
I feel anxious if I have appointment with a doctor for normal test or diagnosis, I feel anxious about having any new thing introduced to my uneventful days, no matter it's significance.
You need something with regular progression to look forward to. Honestly? Start working out, and start SMALL. I'm talking just even walking. Real physical and mentally felt change happens early with no equipment even needed. There is no feeling quite like "this... actually got easier." And the progression is infinite. Literally all I've been doing lately is two curl exercises before bed and the difference is astounding, not only in mood but energy. I feel more energy during the day just by making a minimal attempt at night.
The best treatment for anxiety is to just confront it, feel anxious, and then realize on the other side it was actually fine. Won't make it go away immediately, but it'll decrease over time. Anxiety is a normal human emotion, it just gets a little to intense for some people sometimes
OK, I think I better understand where you’re coming from, but my advice is pretty much the same.
Life is changed. Constant, unrelenting change. How will you get through that and how happy you are throughout your life often depends directly on how well you can handle change in your life.
I suggest, at the very least, trying to get some practice. Resisting change will only ever make you miserable.
"Changes aren't permanent, but change is!"

If the origin of the sentiment was Rush Limbaugh, I’ll never stop vomiting.
