Post-move anxiety

Yesterday was move day. I moved back in with my boyfriend - we agreed to try again.

While I was living by myself, being alone so much made me anxious.

Now that we’ve moved in together, I’m anxious that we won’t be able to work things out and make it as a couple.

No matter what happens in my life, I feel anxious. Why was I cursed?

I know how you feel. I am no professional, but I think sometimes that’s just how anxiety works. It’s not necessarily one situation can make us anxious and once it’s better, anxiety goes away. I mean, from what I understand, anxiety is a medical condition that can be difficult to control. It is for me, anyway.

Aside from that, it sounds like you’ve been through a lot of stress, which would affect most anyone.

What I see here is bravery😊. I know that probably does not help one little bit lol...

And it does seem like a curse sometimes.

Just wanted to give you my support and tell you that I understand, although I can’t answer the question😊...

I really really hope you can enjoy the rest of your day❤️

Today I’m so anxious, my stomach is upset.

Thank you for answering me.

I would rather chop my own arm off then feel sick to my stomach😂😂😂-(obviously, joking there😉)....

Seriously, I can stand headaches, foot aches, ear aches, whatever (although I have a tendency to seek out pain meds for anything LOL), but nausea is something I absolutely hate with a passion.

I know this isn’t the point, but when I get nervous or super anxious I’ll have a lot of gastrointestinal issues – not to be gross-but for example, I’ll need to use the bathroom a lot and have cramps related to that.

Is yours like that or is yours like, sick to your stomach or a dull, gnawing stomach ache?

Again not the point at all. And you definitely don’t have to answer my detailed questions about your physical symptoms😂....

Just to be clear, I may seem to be making light of the whole situation. I am not. Sometimes I use humor just to try to lighten the mood a bit. I realize how serious a matter this is, and I think of it as such.

Feel free to DM anytime😊

What were the reasons you mo Ed out in the first place? Did you resolve those issues?

I’d rather not go into details in public.

I understand. I lived with two men in my life that I moved back in with. Both mistakes. One I even married and divorced. I can relate for sure.

I feel like I was the one who was wrong, I was the one who screwed up. Like everything bad that happened was my fault.

I hope it goes well. Just don't stick with someone out of codependency like I did.

Kat, i’m noticing something here and I could be way off – but it sounds like you beat the crap out of yourself and have a lot of guilt eating away at you.....EVEN for things you should not feel guilty for.

I suffer with that as well. So I understand. Try to check up on that positive affirmation post!❤️

You’re right about that. I feel terrible about myself.

Maybe it's good to remember that some anxiety is just normal. I'd say your situation would make most people nervous - it's just that those of us with anxiety issues have a hard time just letting the anxiety be and we end up escalating it. I've also noticed that after a very busy time I tend to have a bit more anxiety or depression right afterwards. It always passes.
