Adobe CS5.5 Programs & macOS Sierra

I have been using a Mac for the past 6 years and have been using several of Adobes programs such as:

After Effects CS5.5

Audition CS5.5

Encore CS5.5

Illustrator CS5.1

Photoshop CS5.1

Premiere Pro CS5.5

I just updated my OS to Sierra, and now all of these programs are not working properly. 

Premiere runs so slow it's almost unusable, Encore crashes as soon as I try to import video file, Photoshop crashes as soon as I try to save projects, & Illustrator just doesn't work...

Can anyone help me?  Is anyone having the same problem that I am?  Has anyone found a work around?

Not compatible... Owners of old programs simply have problems with Mac El Capitan/Sierra... none of which is Adobe's fault... Adobe did not change your old program to make it stop working... Apple changed their operating system and THAT is why your old program won't work, not because of anything Adobe did... Also... every time Apple issues an update, there is the risk that an old program that HAS been working will STOP working... bottom line, old programs require a matching old operating system

    Use Time Machine to go back to a time before Sierra.
