The gossip has started, and the 2 to 5 favorite is the same place I arrived at by logical analysis.
Which I'm sure is a lovely place to live. And I'm sure has many redeeming values.

I'm enough ok so far. If rumor becomes fact, I might not be. I might not be at all ok.
I probably need to come up with a plan to keep myself safe if that happens.

Maybe lie down for a bit? Though it's not any more pleasant to hyperventilate while you're horizontal than when you're vertical. I'd tell you a joke if I could.

Yeah. it's the move.
I took a couple of tranqulizers, so I'm not panicking.
I'll wait to see what happens and try to stay tranqulized through the rumors.
But I'm not going. I haven't figured out how yet, but I'm not going.

Take it day by day and try to remind yourself not to live too far into the future.
I know that feels impossible sometimes. Too bad we don't have some sort of simple on/off switch on our worrying.
I wish I could offer more. This is so hard. I think I'd be reacting like you, too. Maybe you'll feel better once you get to actually talk to your T. once you have a final decision on the move.
Distraction and medication, in the meantime.

Sometimes when things have been really bad in the past for me,
I deal with it a MINUTE AT A TIME. Try to breath slowly & deeply, repeat "everything will be ok. I am SAFE".
FEAR =
Forgetting
Everything
Always

My tendency is to get obsessed with spending too much to distract myself. Wonderfully effective, but probably unwise.

Hi Dinah,
I'm glad I read this - I could use my own advice today. Not about breathing & fear, but about saying stuff to myself like, things will be ok; I'm safe; everything is ok.
I've been feeling crappy for over a week. It's an anxious, & heavily dull feeling. About 5 or 6 weeks ago I took a homeopathic 'constitutional' remedy & sometimes they stir things up. Well I feel suitably 'stirred' in a not positive way!
Oh dear. I hate this.
Hope you're feeling better! Kath

By the way - I can relate to spending too much to distract myself. I'm not doing it right now, but I can sure get into that one too!

Yeah, I'm having spenders remorse right now. All of the sudden I snap out of it and realize what I've done. I think it's returnable this time, at a loss of shipping and handling. And fortunately I reduced those credit limits.
Hope you're feeling better.

Good that you could return it!!
Guilt is a useless emotion! :-)) Or so I've heard & I like to quote that one. When you think of it - if we've done something that we feel guilty about, as I've always told my now somewhat grown-up kids,
If you make a mistake it's not wasted if you can learn something from it.
& guess what - maybe we need how ever many times to rework on that mistake!!
I'm not really feeling better yet, but the sun just came out & actually that does help a little bit.
I hope you have a good day. :-) Kath
