Scared to death of change

Posted by neilandlex on August 15, 2003, at 10:33:39

Can anyone help me? I have a good job that is VERY stable and has good medical insurance but I want to move to Florida with my wife because she wants to be closer to her mother who is in poor health. Neither of us are happy here in the town we live in. I have ADD with comorbid Bipolar Disorder the latter seeming to manifest in the last 3 or 4 years. While I want to move it scares the life out of me to think about it. I wasn't like this before. If I think about it my hands begin to get clammy. The only real "bills" I have to worry about are my car($400 a month) and medication(about $100) I don't own a home and we have a 4 y/o to consider. I can't seem to find work there but every time I have moved(which has been alot) I have bettered myself somehow. Why am I so worried now? Any ideas?

Hi neil,
Do you have anyone you can talk about the move with? A therapist, or pdoc that can adjust your meds? For some reason you're more conflicted about this move than you have been in the past--maybe there is something you need to explore there. Not that you can't work it out, but maybe you can discover what it is that's making you so agitated. Do you know what you are afraid of, or is it just that old free floating anxiety?

Wish I had more to give you...

I felt the same way as Kara Lynne Neil
I wanted to say something to you, I wished I had something to give you but, well I'm scared to death of practically everything. Scared of not changing, scared of changing, scared of becoming grass (That was when my pharmacy made a mistake with my medication though) : )

So gee all I can say is good luck and I feel kind of lame saying that. But hey At least you're not rocking in a corner scared of becoming grass
things could be worse!
