I get that it's overwhelming for you to make a decision. Have you made a list of pros and cons for staying vs retirement? Are these drastic changes for sure? Is there any room for grey, or is it all black and white? Do you have a deadline? Can you see how these changes affect you and then decide?
It's hard, I know. I'm even more anxious when I think about moving out of my house! I'd rather get well instead! I'm sure you'd rather not have the changes happen in your job.

Those are all good questions. I only have answers to a few of them, and I know I shouldn't make any definitive decisions until I have answers to all of them.
Yes, the changes are drastic for sure, and many changes are happening at once, AND I'm almost 59, have chronic health issues, and I'M TIRED.
I don't have a deadline. And waiting to see how the changes affect me is a great idea. I usually get very anxious before a change, and often things work out well afterward, despite all my anxiety.
Still, I could use an Ativan. And I don't have any; haven't had a need for it in a long time. I could call my Pdoc and ask, but he'd probably want to see me; in any case, I'd have to wait until next week. Hmmm. We're going away this weekend. Maybe the change of scenery will do me good.
