Adjustment Disorder

Adjustment Disorder is a deep set fear of not only change but of leaving the house, going on a date, sleeping at a friends home, moving, among other normal everyday things. Adjustment disorder is caused by little things that internally scar us although we may not know when it happens. For example:

I am at home all day for a few weeks and then when I go out I feel like I am guilty of something or like I won't have a home to go back to.

I sleep over at a friends house and I have to go home halfway through the night because I am afraid to be away from home too long.

I start working at a new job and I feel like I am going to be fired for something little like dropping a pencil because I am attached to my old job.

Adjustment Disorder doesn't make a lot of sense to someone who doesn't have it. It is a difficult thing to cope with. It makes us afraid of random things that no one else even gives a second thought.

My Adjustment Disorder keeps me from dating again because I am bone chillingly afraid that I will get hurt again after being single for a year.
