It isn't easy to give up the familiar. And you've made a lot of changes lately. Fear and grief are probably normal.
But, I find there'a also a let down to achievement. That you think that if such and such happens you'll feel so and so. Then you work to achieve your goal, and gosh darn it you don't feel what you expected to feel.
I remember my wedding. We had planned it for a year. I expected to feel.... I don't know. Magical. Bridelike. But I felt like me in a wedding gown. It was odd somehow.
Plus, didn't you recently change meds? Do you think that might have something to do with it?
