times be tough. Not much of a relaxer, until now.

Anyone got any recommendations to definitely help me switch off and enjoy the universe?

Sometimes it is easier to breathe out than to take a deep breath in

Just in life, it is easier to let go of what you already have rather than to take in what you need

Sort of long backstory:

I'm 20yo girl, I live at home while I'm in college (online) and I have 2 part time jobs. Last week hurricane Milton hit my town and my parents and I can't live at home for at least 6 months due to damage. We are staying at a family friend's house (this is their 2nd house so they don't live here currently) which is about 5 minutes away from our house. Since we got back into town my parents and I have been going back to my house every day (for most of the day) to demolish and throw away everything we couldn't take with us. Since returning from evacuation my parents haven't left me alone. My mom has been asking me questions about FEMA, insurance, contractors, and making me talk to the majority of people that have come to inspect our house. My dad has been asking for me to help him work on the house, ripping out the floors, the walls, yard cleanup etc. I don't mind helping my parents but I think they forget I'm still a young adult and have no clue what I'm doing.

My question is what are ways that can help me relax/ calm down?

I am an extreme homebody and I love being alone which are two things it seems like I can no longer have. I can't get away from my parents because none of our jobs have reopened yet so I am spending all day every day with them. All of my friends are away at college so I can't just go hang out at a friend's house and all my hobbies/ hobby supplies were destroyed during the hurricane. I keep trying to remind myself that my family is safe, we have a place to stay, and to give my parents some grace because we have never had hurricane damage this bad. I also keep trying to remind myself that this is temporary and things will go back to normal but none of this makes me feel any better. I am running out of ideas on how to relax and I am at a breaking point. I can't seem to get myself to unwind and I need tips or advice on how to relieve my stress and anxiety. TY!!!!!

After a busy day at university or a busy day in general I find it really hard to just relax and watch something like a tv show or read a book. I don’t know why. My mind relieves the entire day and starts thinking about what has to be done the next day or even week even though I am tired and have no desire at that moment to do any of it because I’m so tired physically and mentally.

I can read a book just fine, not really watch a tv show or a movie or anything in general because I just get distracted. I can sleep a bit easier now but sometimes even that is hard at the end of a busy day.

Why is this and how do I just simply relax?
