Feeling Down and Can't Seem to Feel Better

[muchlovex]

My car was written off last week, due to being burnt out. I am sad about that as I've always had a car to rely on for work etc. I am lucky a I can use my other half's car.

We have just received notification from our Landlord that they would like possession of the house by 25th October. This has made me feel even more down, as it's difficult to find nice houses down here. I hate having the agro of moving. Maybe it's because I like stability or something?

My other half has a job interview up north, (home), and the first interview is end of August. There are 2 interviews involved. Fingers crossed we'll be moving back up home and live in our own house and not worry about landlords etc.

I don't know what to think and do, as I feel we are in limbo at the moment. Every morning I feel panicky and depressed. I am getting myself out but can't help this feeling. I don't think I cope with stress very well at all.

Any tips or helpful advice anybody can give?

Stressful things are going on in your life but you have to hold onto the thought that it's not going to carry on forever.

By the end of October you'll, hopefully, be settling again and a new chapter begins.

you have alot of stressful things on your plate - loss of car, a move, change of job. Try to remove as many other potential stresses/obligations as possible, e.g things you fell you ought to do but the world won't come crashing in if you skip them once or twice. It cuts you some slack to focus on and deal with the rest

good point guys.

I don't have any friends or family near-by as they all live up north. I just feel very lonelly at the moment. I hope I snap out of this soon, as I can't be feeling like this all the time.

It won't last muchlovex. As you sort each issue, things will get easier.

just pick one thing to do and concentrate on doing it 100%, don't think about doing anything else you have to do.
e.g if you do the dishes just focus on getting that one thing done thoroughly before you start something else, that way you will get through and have some sense of progress and achievement, however small.

I think I am going to have a shower then walk to town, have eyebrows shaped and go to gym.

good thinking; you need a bit of 'me time'. Big life changes are always stressful, and being left in limbo for a while never helps. Just take it one day at a time. Things will sort themselves out one way or another, and then you'll have a clearer view of where you stand and what you need.

It may not be much Muchlove, just be thankful you where not in the car when it went up, a lot of people have failed to escape in some circumstances, a lot of us get on downers for what ever reason, providing you have your heath you can work things out.
