Moving and Depression

[MyluvFredo]

I’m moving from my home and feeling very sad , scared , and definitely full of anxiety. Although this move is voluntary, I am mourning moving from the home I have know for over 20 years. So many memories , and my heart breaks. This is my place of comfort and security. I didn’t expect to be taking this so hard and for it to hurt as much as it does. I feel very alone and as if I shouldn’t be feeling this way.

Where are you moving to? Do you have anything exciting waiting for you there?

Hello . I’m moving one hour north of where I am now. Trying a new city and wanted a change. Excited and nervous all wrapped into one. I’m trying lot to let my anxiety dictate.

I am glad there is some excitement mixed in with the anxiety. You are very courageous to make this move.

It makes sense. To feel that way. Let yourself feel all of the feelings that come with change.

hi there, I’m in the same boat. I’m going through a separation from my wife of 20 years together with 3 beautiful daughters. We are at the stage of emptying the house and it’s so emotional it’s overwhelming. We have lived together separately for the past year and it’s been hard but we wanted to do this for our children. We now get on very well and our kids are finding it very hard and emotional. Luckily we are moving to a nice village with both houses very close to each other so the kids will be able to come and go as they please.

I’m sorry for your emotional journey but I’m sure it will all work out for you. You have a new start in your life and it will embrace you if you let it.

Good luck with it all 🙏♥️🕊️✨
