moving update

[Daisy425]

today my stepmom and sister came and helped me finish packing and we cleaned the apartment. There’s some odds and ends I need to do but thst will have to wait until the night before. I ate half of a blt for lunch and some French fries. They just left and now I’m really feeling anxious about moving. My stomach is upset and I feel sick. I’m exhausted and my allergies are bad. I was going to lay down for a little bit and try to nap, then just rest the rest of the night. When I think about move out day I feel so sick to my stomach. I know I should be excited and I am. J want to live with my boyfriend. But I’m just so stressed about actually moving and I’m sad to leave my safe space. Everyone is telling me this is all normal but idk. I just want to stop feeling this way. J feel sick

Leaving your safe space is really hard. Maybe focus on creating a room or spot that is just for you, your new safe space. There will be times when you just need a place to be you.

I’m worried because we only have a one bedroom apartment. We do have a patio though at our new place. Maybe that will be my spot

Yes! Take over the patio Daisy, that's a great idea. Make it your own. ☺️

Hi Daisy,

Much easier said than done I know, but try to relax. I don't know about you, but I've had many situations that I've come through thinking "now why did I get all worried about that? It turned out fine!". Is it tomorrow you move?

I know. You could think of what you want to put where in your new place! Design it, if you will. This goes here, that goes there stuff. I for one love nesting. My husband came home to a diffuser once. He was like "what the... Where'd THAT come from? Because it sure wasn't here when I left this morning.... Did you know that it smells?".

You have done a lot to prep for your move, but I totally get that it's anxiety producing. I'll be really glad for you when you are all moved and settled in your new place and I love that the patio will be your new safe space.
