I have posted on the depression and fibro board before, but I hope someone can give me some ideas here.
We are moving cross-country in a few weeks. I have been anxious about this move for awhile, but now as it gets closer I am nearly having panic attacks. There are still so many things to finalize here. I know this is not helpful but all I do is worry that things will not work out. There are a lot of moving parts.
I've moved several times before, but this is really different. I have had trouble sleeping for weeks, and for the past several weeks it is really difficult to eat.
I try to meditate every morning, but shortly afterwards I am right back.
Any support is appreciated.
Hope

Hello and welcome to the A/P!

While exciting, with many positive aspects...moving can be a very stressful event! I understand how you are feeling, as change can be challenging!

It is great that you are practicing self help techniques. Keep it up...and seek to add some new material to your arsenal by checking out our Resources at the top of the main forum page here!

The 'Positive Mantras/Affirmations' link is especially helpful for a situation like this...where the 'what if things go wrong?' thinking tries to take over.

Let me know if you'd like me to post any links directly for you, and I'll happily do so at your request.

Let us know how we can support you through this challenge...we are here to cheer you on anytime.:)

Talk soon,

Scaredy Cat

Thank you so much!
I just quickly looked over the positive affirmations, and they look great. I am going to try and print them so that I can look at them whenever I need something to stop the escalating fear thoughts. I will read the resources more carefully tonight.

You do such a good service, answering posts like mine! With moving, I know I will lose some of the supports I have here, so I feel very lucky to be able to come here.

Hope
