Moved home

[Gregor]

Hi,

Haven't been here for a while, but i just thought i'd share with you all my latest triumph.

I've finally managed to move home - something i've wanted to do for a few years, but hadn't been able to.

Until about July this year, i hadn't even been outside for a whole year. I'd been stuck in my 2nd floor flat for that time, unable to get downstairs and outside. Then, i started making small (huge to me!) progress, getting out and about. Now, i've moved. I had to make a 7 hour car journey to get here and i was so proud of myself for managing that. Now, i'm living in a house - my bedroom is on the ground floor, as i still have problems with getting up and down stairs, so i can just pop outside whenever i want.

You'd think i'd be happy now and i am, but i still get pretty down about everything. The main reason is because for some reason i feel worse with my anxiety than i did before i moved and i'm not sure why. I'm determined not to let it beat me though. I know if i slump into too much depression, i will slip back to how i was a few months ago and i really really don't want that. I'm getting out to shops still, assisted of course, and doing whatever i can.

Thanks for listening.

Change always heightens my anxiety for a while. When I moved I felt overly anxious for a while until I got used to the new place.
WAY TO GO for making the change and for getting out to shops!!!
It's all the little steps that add up to BIG victories :)

You have done really well,you should be really proud of your self.
Maybe your anxiety has got worse because you have moved from the place you felt very safe in.Moving is stressfull in it self,so you have taken major step forward.
This new home is a fresh start,and your going out to.WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!
Take care Gregor.:D:D:D:D

That's really some achievement, Gregor.

This house gets me down as I cannot cope very well with it, but how could I move as it would all be such an upheaval!

Surely, moving house is the biggest thing to us apart from a life long commitment or similar.

Way to go![8D]

Thanks for all your encouragement and advice. I just get a bit impatient sometimes as i want everything to click into place immediately.

Yesterday i went round a shop on my own for the first time since i got here and i felt really good for doing that. I am really happy for the progress i am making, so i know i should just try to focus on those positive steps.

Hope you are settling in to your new home.

As Ray mentioned, moving home is a major life change and it is natural to experience some anxiety while settling in.

I too would like to move but am not in a frame of mind to deal with the upheaval.

Well done for getting out to the shop too. You are making great progress.
