I apologize in advance for a long and rambling post. I just really need to vent. I’m having a lot of anxiety right now.
my boyfriend and I move in together next tuesday. I’m very excited but also sad to leave my current apartment that has been my home for four years. I feel comfortable here and I’m a little scared to move. It’s also my first time living with a significant other. Part of me feels like I pressured him into this decision but he says I didn’t so I have to trust that.
I’m moving closer to my family but further from my teaching job. I will have a 50 minute commute each way, all back roads though so I won’t have to worry about traffic. I’m scared the commute will be too much. But this apartment was halfway between where I teach and where my boyfriend teaches.
I’ve been packing and most of my apartment is packed except for some stuff in my dresser, my toiletries, some dishes and kitchen stuff, and pillows and blankets. But I still feel behind and overwhelmed. Like I’m not doing enough. But I’m exhausted. My stepmom is coming Sunday to help finish with packing and start cleaning.
In addition to moving I’m also working on setting up my classroom. So when I’m not packing my apartment I’m at school doing things.
I’m exhausted but also want to enjoy my last few days of summer and see friends and family here and there when I can.
Then I think about after moving day how I’m going to have to unpack which will be just as exhausting. I am just so anxious about getting everything done. I also feel a little anxious about the change in living situation. I’m excited and I know it’s the next necessary step in our relationship but change is hard for me
