Adjustment Disorder

Are you struggling with the effects of adjustment disorder?

Right now, as a result of adjustment disorder, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Overwhelming emotions that seem disproportionate to the life change or stressor you’ve encountered
  • Difficulty functioning in daily activities at work, school, or in relationships due to your emotional response
  • Physical symptoms like insomnia, fatigue, headaches, or stomach issues that appeared after a significant life change
  • Persistent worry, sadness, or anxiety that doesn’t seem to improve as time passes
  • Withdrawal from social activities or relationships that you previously enjoyed
  • Trouble concentrating or making decisions as your mind feels preoccupied with the stressor
  • A sense that you’re not coping as well as you “should” with a life transition or challenge

Your adjustment disorder may be getting in the way of your life in these ways:

  • Your work performance or academic achievement is suffering as you struggle to focus or maintain motivation
  • Your relationships are strained as loved ones may not understand the intensity of your reaction
  • Your self-care routines have fallen by the wayside as you feel overwhelmed by your emotional response
  • Your ability to find joy or meaning in activities has diminished since the stressful event or change occurred
  • Your confidence in your resilience and coping abilities has been shaken by this experience

You’re wondering…

  • Why am I having such a hard time adjusting to this change when others seem to handle similar situations with ease?
  • Is it normal to feel this level of distress, or is something more serious happening with my mental health?
  • How long will these intense feelings last, and will I ever feel like myself again?
  • What’s the difference between an adjustment disorder and other conditions like depression or anxiety?
  • What strategies can help me cope more effectively with this transition or stressor?

You’re longing for…

  • A return to emotional balance where you’re not constantly preoccupied with the stressor or change.
  • Confidence in your ability to adapt to life’s challenges and transitions.
  • Practical coping strategies that help you manage the specific stressor you’re facing.
  • Understanding of why this particular change or event has affected you so deeply.
  • A sense of meaning or growth that can emerge from this difficult transition period.
