Old Guy Anxiety

Hello one and all, first time trying a forum don't really no what to expect but sometimes you just got to try, I've sold my house and moving to Tasmania but cant find a house to buy and am forced to pay an indecent amount to rent while I continue to my search. But before I leave I have been hit with severe anxiety with lot of what if questions, regrets in selling, Pets to relocate, poor sleep etc etc, My wife has a chronic illness and as such wants to move closer to our son but I am so anxious with fast heart beat, sweating, nausea and lack of sleep. So there's my brief intro I'm very stressed at the moment so sorry for rambling.

Hello Hagrath, please be careful as I have found out everytime I have moved, that I tend to fall backwards into a slump for a couple of weeks, I hope your meds kick in quickly and this doesn't apply to you.

It's only temporary until you are able to adjust and wish you the very best.

Geoff.

Hi Hagrath,

re seeing friends again - would you be able to make visits every now and then? You’re really only moving a short distance away. Also remember these days technology helps to keep us connected more. Things like zoom Skype are different to in real life but are something.
Do your friends know you are leaving? make sure you spend time saying goodbye to them before you move.

Apparently moving is one of the biggest stressors in life so anxiety at it is understandable

Take care, A
