Hi everyone
In a couple of days I will be moving into my very own flat/apartment. Very exciting stuff. For the last 5 years since uni I have lived with housemates, and this will be my first experience 'going it alone'; not that I will be alone all the time though - I have a long-term girlfriend who stays almost every night. Thing is, she's away until mid-September but will come back for the odd weekend before then.
This leads me to my issue.
A couple of years back I beat a bad anxiety bout and had been going fine since June 2009. Now, my generalised anxiety is back and making me feel awful! The only thing I can attribute this to is the apprehension I feel in moving into my own place. I think if I knew my GF would be there every night I'd feel much better (after September she will be) so maybe it's the nights alone I fear - but I don't want to fear them! There are quite a few other people in the building I'm moving into, and I have friends who live in the area, so what's the problem?!
I know I should have nothing to fear and be really excited, and I am, it's just I think these nagging worries are bringing on a serious anixety bout at a really bad time!
Any tips or advice on how to deal with this would be great!
