Advice-holiday ?? Anxiety, blues or normal teen angst & canciversary shit?

Hi:

I relocated from Biston to California this past year. Big changes and challenges; but also beautiful house/opportunities though bit isolating as we are brand new Emory nesters. We did have a 14 day cross-country trip in our RV last month & also fortunate to travel back to Boston for 3 weeks over holidays with my 18 yo son & 20 yo daughter & dh!

I asked for Pallocative care in my home and PT & Nurse came 1x visit & discharges me I’ve yet to ask for that SW visit they promised me; not sure why; life gets in the way u guess.

My current issue: in October 2019

I successfully weaned off Zoloft that is been in for anxiety. I am extremely randomly testy and sometimes cannot stop crying with a bit of breathlessness. It happens over tiny things Luke cancer commercial or my 20 yo daughter or son telling me she wants to cut her 5 week break short to 3 weeks & my son saying “...he didn’t fly to Boston to see me ya know”. I didn’t let them see me cry & did address their approach & explained how hurt it all made me. I don’t know if it’s the holiday season; I don’t feel depressed or withdrawn rather just “scared” if all the unknowns & potentially future missed milestones when I succumb to this. I’m pretty much fine during the day; but at nite my

Mind wanders & I cannot sleep. I do take 5 mg Ambien & 1 mg Ativan @ nite to sleep. Any suggestions welcome.

Th and you all. Happy holidays & good health/fortune this new year to all.

Normal life with the addition of big changes and ongoing concern regarding your disease. You were right to raise the thoughtlessness with your children.

It will take time to adjust to your new life in california and 'scanxiety' could be if you allow your mind, turned into 'scaninterest'... ie "i wonder what the results wiĺl be (good, bad or indifferent).

Be kind to yourself... youve gone through a key life change.

Congratulations on your move to CA! Try to enjoy all that CA offers. It is a magical place!

Big changes often bring up many emotions, especially being an empty nester.

Give yourself time to adjust.
