What is a Life Transition?
A life transition is a change that can significantly impact your daily life. They're a natural part of life and everyone experiences them. While these transitions may bring stress, it's usually a healthy and normal response. The stress you feel can actually help you adjust to your new circumstances. Some life transitions, however, can have a big negative impact on your emotional well-being.
Life transitions include getting married, divorcing, having a baby, children starting school, starting college, becoming empty nesters, starting a new job, getting a new boss, getting a promotion, retiring, moving, finding a new community, changing your fundamental beliefs, natural disasters impacting your life, loss of a loved one, coming out as LGBTQ+, and so much more.
It's hard to predict when or how life transitions will impact you in a way that makes it difficult to function on a daily basis. Even if a life transition is supposed to be "positive," it's always possible to feel overwhelmed and experience serious strain on your mental health.
During a life transition, it's important to be patient and compassionate with yourself. You may also find it helpful to seek support from family, friends, or mental health professionals to help you navigate new circumstances and gain new perspectives. Remember, you don't have to go through it alone!
