Do you hate to have your routine broken?

Just wondering if other people hate to have their daily routine broken.I have noticed lately if anything comes along to disrupt my usual schedule, my anxiety goes up a lot.And it could be just a small thing like being late to work cause of traffic or an appointment being changed and i go straight into panic mode.Anyone else have the same experience?
 
oh hell yes!
I don't go into panic mode, but it does cause a rise in my anxiety and I become flustered for a while.
I fear the unknown, therefore it takes me a while to get used to anything new.

I don't hate it, but I get pretty irritable and depressed if I don't get to play keytar every day or eat eggs for breakfast or hit the gym. Ok I guess I do hate it.

I definitely need routine.

I've stuck to that since the day I was born.

I have a vague routine by myself, without much direction, but everything changes when I submit myself the the timings of an employer. I don't mind, at all!! I prosper from that. I'm an early bird. I get plenty of sleep, keep hygiene, and a food regime...

It takes a few weeks to go from one arrangement to the other, and it happens every few months, generally.

I'd put effort and time into my parent / overseer / machine / corporation, and always want to provide more (overtime / ideas) and get more from that.. at the weekend. Weekends are a perfect summary of hell. Nothing to do. No recruiters to speak to. No friends to share things with, as I'm skint.

I really would prefer to do voluntary "work" rather than doing nothing, all the time. I would need something in reward for that, though, somehow...

I believe that most people consider the way that it makes them feel to be the reward for doing volunteer work.

I dont mind if its bent a little per se, example: I usually pick up my wife after work at the mall, because its close to her uni. Every now and then we might do a little shopping. That kind of bending is do-able for me.

What I can do that annoys the crap out of me, and sometimes causes anxiety in both the wife and I, is if someone just randomly shows up. That REALLY throws everything out of the loop.

Even though I'm sick and tired of my daily routine, I fear change and absolutely hate it when things don't happen the way they normally do. It's mainly out of fear, though, like I said.

times that im tired are when im most vulnerable to freak out. tired or sleepy or in a rush. so that means early in the morning, someone hid the coffee.. or after a long day at work.. dead beat and then something comes up.. stuff like that that hit me when im most vulnerable..

other than that, if i miss a workout :)

but i think we peeps have generally more inflexible lives. we're used to sameness becoz of our limitations/restrictions. so its just natural i guess. aside from that, the mind-tube of worst case scenarios start playing
