This may seem a bit out there but try theta wave meditation..I joined a group for guided meditations but have also found some good ones to download from the app stores and even youtube.

It is really hard to establish yourself in a new area and it takes some time. Try to make contact with others through work or interest groups

Wishing you the best x

Aneversaries can be so hard, look after yourself, and the feeling will pass. Asking for help is the first step. The posters on these forums have made me feel less isolated with my depression today, I hope the same happens for you

Hi Viper,

Just a couple of questions, what prompted you to move to your current location in the first place? You mention until we sell again, is moving somewhere else on the cards? While you are living where you are do you think it would be possible to find some benefits in being there? (Getting in touch with nature, being away from the hustle and bustle of a big city.) are there any outlets for help with managing your fears and panic attacks there? (A GP or social worker etc) You use the term 'we', do the other people you live with know about your worries? Are they supportive?

Sorry, thats a lot of questions, but we're here to listen, and if possible perhaps offer some support and suggestions.

There's never a need to feel silly. No matter how "old enough" we get life is all about making choices, some good, some not so good...but we learn from them all the same.

Im glad to hear you have support from your husband. Good luck with the sale and your relocation.

Dear Viper

Sorry have only just got to this thread now – but looks like things are having a turn for the better, yeah? And I’m totally with AGrace here – there is no need to feel silly at all. We live, we make decisions, and for the most part, we learn from them. Be they good decisions or perhaps, not so good ones. But for you and your husband at the time, it WAS a good decision. You weren’t to know how it would turn out.

But just consider for a minute – if you’d stayed where you were and continued there. You may well be wondering for a long time, “Gee, what if we had moved to that location? It could have been brilliant, beautiful, it could have ……” Do you see what I mean? So I say “Good on you” for going there and “trying”.

And like AGrace, the support you are getting from your husband sounds awesome.

Kind regards

Neil
