Right now, I really just need support. Things kind of fell apart today. Looks like we are going to have to move. This is all VERY unexpected. There's money to move (well, a little), but the problem is finding a place to go within the timeframe.

It's not as dire as it sounds. It's just REALLY stressful and I don't handle stress well at all. I'm depressed anyway and this is making me feel really powerless. I just have to put this into perspective and try to remember this isn't as bad as its been before. This just triggers me b/c I've gone thru this before and it was a horrible situation.

More than anything, I just need support and reassurance that this will work out. I'm having a hard time focusing on anything but negative right now.

Hey Md...

I know its probably easy for me to say but this works for me when I sometimes feel like I'm going to fall apart.

I have to literally say out loud that it's all going to be ok and it will pass.. Focus on the positive ahead, I know it hard, but if you create it in your mind, say it out loud, you 'll be surprised how quick your worries can seem to go from you..

I know it's hard to focus sometimes but 'SPEAK THE POSITIVE' out loud..

It's all going to be ok mate..

Hope I ve been of help somehow

You will get through this. Take a step back and just breathe deeply. In with the good and out with the bad. Do say out loud "I can do this, I will do this, I got this" positive energy creates positive things in life. We all have faith in you. Just keep posting and breathe. Everything will be okay

Thanks, both of you. I thought i would try to go to bed early and start over today. I woke up after 3 hours, panicking. I'm calmer now. I just can't let myself get overwhelmed.

Got a lot of phone calls to make, a lot of leg work to do ... This is gonna be fun.

In all honesty, I don't mind the moving part. I'm not really fond of this place anyway. Bad location, crazy neighbors, etc. it's that I hoped this would be our choice, when time came to leave. It's not and that's what's causing all this anxiety.

3 words Scott: You got this!

No it wasn't your choice to move at this time, but try and look at it as a window of opportunity to move to a location where the neighbours are NOT crazy...

Lyrical quote for this post: But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Thanks doll. Perfect lyrics. Very fitting.

I've made some progress. Already got one place to look at. Still making calls.

Good for you, keep us updated.

Just do things one at a time...Pace yourself so you don't get overwhelmed. If you have someone around you that is able to help, ask for help. When I get to my breaking point I normally step back and let someone else do what I can't do... I was in this kind of situation before and it is a little stressful. At the time my daughter was barely 1 and I had to move out within a certain period of time, line up my new place, and make sure I had funds for everything. Her father is much more calmer than I, so he took care of some things and didn't freak out like me Thank God it all worked out...Make the move and know that when it is all said and done, you will be where you want to be...Like you, I couldn't stand the place I was living at. Loud disrespectful neighbors and the neighborhood was in chaos by the time we were leaving. My reassurance was that I was going to have peace of mind and comfort in the new place. Few months later, I bought my first home...So I'm glad it happened....

Deep Breath....and rewind....change your thinking....I know its stressful, but maybe if you can chill for a minute, maybe this can be a fun thing, a new thing....I know that us Bi-Polars dont do well with change, but you know the old mantra....things happen for a reason lol......you may find something better than you have, and a place that feels more fitting for you and your family than you have now....you never know the possibilities.....so grab a box and some packing peanuts it will be ok....

Hang in here! You will get it done. As somebody else said, just take it one step at a time......If it helps any, do think about all the bad stuff about your old place and the good that can come about from a new place!

Be good to yourself. Get rest, eat well, etc.
