Lonely and stressed

[mentalstrength30]

Am moving out of the country. its stressful knowing that the things you love can't all come with you. I want to talk to someone too. My heart feels so heavy tonight. Watching tv doesn't help.

Hi. Moving is really hard, never mind a move where you switch countries! I moved countries 9 years ago, and wow! it brought up a lot of very surreal feelings. Among other things, I had to sell my beloved moped and hand my dogs over to my parents to take care of since they couldn't make the trip. The stress of such a huge move like that is overwhelming, so make sure to take some time out to calm yourself and do what you like to do. Maybe you can make a list of what you will do as each new day comes. If you think of absolutely everything that needs to be done you'll just overwhelm yourself, so it's best to break it down into chunks.

thanks I will take your advice about lists. I think having a clear plan will calm me

You're welcome. Glad I could help. If you're anything like I was, you'll be anxious about things on both ends -- the country you're leaving and the one you're going to! Focus on the one you're leaving first.

One thing at a time. That’s what I’m going through with transitioning from public school to online school and very soon to teaching homeschool. It’s different than moving but all good changes are stressful and I do hope you will love your new home.

I hope so to, I plan on trying to rebuild myself.
