Stuck in Combat Mode forever?

[Foziebear]

Good morning people! I am semi new to the scene although I am a long time MMO player. I thought I could ask you guys a question about a matter that is really hampering my FFXIV Ps4 experience - I was wondering how to manually disengage myself from combat? I seem to get stuck in this mode even for about 30 seconds plus after defeating an enemy, and I cant sheathe my weapon, interact with NPCs or do anything but edit the hotbar. Its very annoying as I have to wait to do anything after any fight, and I mistakenly use battle commands as I cant even do things from the L2 side of the hotbar - I cant take my potions etc. I would sometimes like to also force my way out of combat if I need to escape etc.
Is there a way to toggle active/passive/battle mode for ps4?

Hopefully you can all help a semi noob out! Thanks!

EDIT - It was a false alarm, I just found out my R@ button is faulty! Sigh! Thanks for tolerating my post people! <3
