On a less sentimental note, LT is it possible to make a bit of room (pardon the pun) for feelings other than anxiety, dread, apprehension about the office move? I don't mean this to minimise the emotional disturbance you feel now because I think it points to really important stuff, but anxiety so often dwarfs other feelings and will muscle out other possibilities. On a really basic level, the physiological effects of anxiety (racing heart and breath, butterflies, agitation, etc) can also indicate excitement and anticipation and sometimes I think we ascribe anxiety when something else might be happening as well. I don't mean that you are incorrect in how you feel or that you should look on the bright side (ugh), but I imagine that you might have the capacity to feel curious and interested about the room as well as anxious. I think I mean something like seeing the whole picture of your emotions rather than allowing anxiety to have a reductive impact.
