Hi everyone,
We are in the process of moving to a bigger house on the other side of town which I was really excited about until we actually sold our house and thibgs started moving forward. It couldn't have happened at a worse time for me cos at the moment I am so scared of driving around even little journeys cos I am petrified of being on my own when I get a panic attack. Ir all started in october when I had a major panic attack on the way to work and then had to turn back home. I only work 7 mins drive away and always used to leave early to avoid the traffic but now I've resorted to getting lifts with a friend. Anyway this new house we will be movong to in jan is 5 mins walk away from work so driving to work won't be an issue, what is becoming really bad for me is that I can't seem to cope with these attacks on my own. At the moment I live 5 mins away from my parents and have done for 6 years since I moved in with my hubbie. He works away a lot and when I have been at home alone the thought of my parents being just around the corner made me feel safe. Now though the thought of my parents being further away, still only about 10 minites is making me want to tell hubbie that we can't go through with the house sale and live in the new house. I had a really bad panic attack at home last week which resulted in my mum having to walk up to my house to be with me and I just keep thinking that when I'm in the new house she won't be able to do that. When I panic at the moment it just brings all my fears to the surface and my main one is being alone when I panic. My hubbie wants me to be less dependant on my parents but it is hard when he works away so much, I have always had the fact that they are so close to fall back on. We haven't even set a date yet for moving but I feel physically ill at the thought of it. Does anyone have any advise or tips on how to cope for me? Have any of you had to deal with moving house? How do you guys deal with panic attacks on your own. Many thanks to anyone who can help me feel better xxx
