[QUOTE="Steely, post: 255923, member: 3301"] I am so overwhelmed with all this move entails, I just froze today and took a nap. It seems like the to do list is endless - and the worries are unrelenting. Everything from what if the cat starts peeing everywhere in the new place, to maybe I need to go to all of my docs before I move since there are few docs, to what if my car breaks down when I get up there and I am stuck in the middle of no where with a crapped out car.................To the more normal stuff like getting things packed, and who will help me move, and will I have enough time to do all of this. I don't do mental chaos well. I like everything planned and organized, and if things are all up in the air like they are now, sometimes I get really overwhelmed and start to obsessively worry, and then I just freeze. Any ideas other than make a list? And meditating? And just taking one day at a time? I am extremely proud of myself for being so brave and jumping into this huge pool of the unknown world - but I cannot say I handle the chaos of the unknown too well. I crave structure. And I [I]really[/I] do not handle a zillion things to do at the same time well. I just catastrophize, and freeze. (Not to mention packing up 12 years of memories from a house riveted with difficult child baggage, a really bad marriage, etc. is really, really emotional.) If I had money I would hire a personal assistant, because that is what I need. Thanks for your help and support.:knockedout: [/QUOTE]
