Change and Depression.... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

2stop · 09-12-2003, 10:54 AM

I have been doing fairly well with my depression, but the past two days it is hitting harder than ever. I think it has to do with the move, we are almost out and into our new home..and every time I look around and everything is everywhere I literally freak out..hard to breathe, feel like I can't think and start crying...I have never been like this before when moving, I don't know if it is just stress, hormonal..what....but today I am ready to run like hell away from everybody and everything..it feels like I'm haing a nervous breakdown, just completely losing my mind...well, just thought I'd vent and get it outta my head. Thanks for listening....

Tammie,

Moving is very stressful. Stack everything up and just do what you need to do to survive. It will wait. Do you have a garage where you can put things so you don't have to look at it all. That overwhelms me too. I hate moving.

Hang in there and don't put pressure on yourself.

Hugs,
MG

Hi Tammie,

I hate change and I really hate to move.
Take it slowly. If you can get one small area organized and comfy you can retreat to that area when distressed.
When I am faced with putting away all the "stuff" I get so overwhelmed, I just shut down and want to crawl in bed. Small steps help....Be sure to do something for you (even briefly) each day during this phase. The boxes will wait!

Hey Tammie...

oh darling... moving house is known to be one of the most stressful things and just because it hasnt effected you like this before... doesn't mean it never would... i think it would be to do with hormones and just because its a different time in your life....

You are changing as time goes on... so you react to things different.. i dont think im making sense... i hardly ever do... but i know what i mean... *chuckles*

take care Tammie... i care lots about you...

Tammie,

I'm right there with you girl. Right now I am feeling frustrated because there are so many boxes stacked around that need unpacking. Hold my hand and I'll hold yours and we can get through this.

Also, I can't find the box from my bedroom that had all my most personal things in it, like all the special jewelry my husband has bought for me, special photos, and other things that to me are priceless and can't be replaced. That is really freaking me out.
