Do I have some sort of mental disorder if I use change to cope with stress? I like change. Some of my friends find it really weird that I change the placement of things in my house a lot or the fact I change my appearance a lot compared to other people.
Greetings ! Well changing settings of home or changing your appearance in the wake of stress shows that you have developed this unique defense mechanism to help self in enduring stress and to overcome it without getting overwhelmed by it and impairing your functioning ability. So this is not a mental disorder but a stress enduring defense mechanism. Each one of us have a way to endure and fight stress, yours is this. I hope this helps. Wish you all the best. Regards
