Even though I have the quote under my profile pix, "In the waves of change we find our true direction," I personally hate change! This is why I took up the study and practice of Buddhism many years ago...so I could really let it sink in that the only thing permanent in life is impermanence. Even though I have put in a lot of time studying and practicing this concept I still hate change and transition as much as ever.
I am moving to a new apartment in a month. In many ways I found something far beyond my wildest expectations, and there are many positives built into my new home. Yet, I still hate the idea of moving. I actually feel like I won't survive it. I know others will say they hate moving, too, but for me it is ridiculously traumatic. I have moved more than the average person during my lifetime...and once moved halfway around the world...but I still feel exactly the same way every single time I move. I find it almost unbearable. It is not that I like moving around...it is just how my life has gone. This time I worked myself up into such a state of anxiety I needed medication, for the first time in three years. (And believe me, I am glad it was available.) I know that no one likes to move, but for me it has become almost a phobia, made worse because now I am on my own and moving alone to a new place. I know I will survive, but when I move it is so dreadful I feel like I won't survive it. If I am not on Psych Central for awhile it is because I have nothing more to post at the moment. How many times can I post that I am freaked out about moving? I am grateful for this opportunity to apply the skills I have been learning (on my own) from DBT...it is definitely a form of cognitive behavior therapy I love, even if it is difficult to do at first. Thanks to all who gave me encouragement with my DBT work.

You can post about being freaked out about moving as much as you like - here its all understood. Maybe there's something about riding those great currents until we reach the calmer water near the shore. Keep swimming Dechan
