Hi poisoncontrol,

I know that feeling. I had to move several months ago and I was just beside myself, so overwhelmed with packig and cleaning and showing the place. It is just so hard at the best of times let alone when one suffers with depression.

I had a hard time too with anxiety & panic disorder as well as ocd, epilepsy, agoraphobia & diassociation. I don't know how I coped, but I got through it even though through just about every day I was bawling my eyes out and so sad and depressed that I thought I would die and wanted to.

Now several months down the track I am still depressed, still have all the other issues, but I am much less stressed now that I'm sort of semi settled. I don't think I will ever truly relax again because I lost so much trust, but I am doing the best I can.

Allow your self to take it one day at a time and do what you can when you can. Enlist the help of friends and even your ex husband. He lived there too you know, surely you can get him to help you to pack & prepare?

You will be going through a terrible time with the thoughts of leaving your children, ruminating in the back of your mind. That would be enough to send anyone off the deep end.

I really hope that you are able to kickstart your energy levels. I find when I am really down the b vitamins help a little and in some cases have helped a little light in.

And don't eat chocolate, it mops up vitamin b in the blood stream, leading to further depressive episodes...

Keep us posted,

((((hugs))))
