Is it normal that i worry too much about something changing my routine?

I've always had some sort of routine which I didn't really like interrupted. After I finished high school this became clearer because I had more control over my time and for the most part I could set a routine of sorts for myself that I'd regularly follow.

Now, I'm gonna give two examples of things that really bother me and make me worry too much:

- Whenever I need to go do an errand or go to some place that's gonna take me at least like 10 minutes or so (like, I can go to the pharmacy that's 2 blocks from my house no problem, but I hate walking like 10 blocks to go pay a bill).

- Whenever I need t go to sleep earlier and/or the time I wake up earlier.

So like, on Monday (today's Wednesday) I need to wake up at 11am (I usually wake up at around 2pm), which also means I'll need to go to sleep earlier, and just that thought is driving me crazy because it feels very disruptive, and I then end up going like "If I go to sleep earlier I miss on part of my routine, and if I wake up earlier I fuck up my sleeping schedule entirely, and then I don't know what I'll do with my extra time, and I'll feel tired earlier than normal, and this and that and EVERYTHING!"

So yeah, is anyone else like this?

    I go through phases where I'm like this lol. Eventually I just kinda gave up on making a schedule for myself. Probably not a good thing lol, I'll change that eventually, but yeah you're definitely not the only one who is like that.

    Having our sense of normality shattered and looking for new routines is normal. Being afraid of change is not. It’s more like obsessive-compulsive disorder. You need to talk to someone about this.

      OCD manifests differently. This sounds more like autism to me.
