Moving day
I need a little bit of help here. Tomorrow is moving day for me. I am moving across the country to a brand new area and now that the time is almost upon me, I find myself feeling sick...legitimately sick to my stomach. I fear to leave behind all that I have ever known, but yet I look forward to a brand new place where no one knows me. I don't know how to best describe it, which for me is odd, but it's a sense of sadness and happiness all rolled into one giant emotion and I don't know how to process it properly. Normally, I can sift through the emotions and come to logical assessment of how I should feel, but this is new to me...I feel so torn...and lost.

i've been trying to move for quite a few months by now. i find it very very difficult. but i do feel it getting closer and more possible to do .. i think it makes me feel very vulnerable .. like it is somehow very very dangerous .. risky .. not sure .. I work with myself a lot with this. trying to find a way to move that is possible. .. big thing for me is i will very easily be really scared of the neighbours.

Rok,
I won't lie to you, moving is hard even if you are not an anspie. Being an aspie, I know that moving can be even harder for us. However, thing will work out and you will have a whole set of new adventures and a clean slate.
Best of luck and I know it will work out for you. I have had to move 9 times since I was a young child and I am still here.

Thanks. I guess it does seem like a vulnerability of sorts to me. I find myself trying to cover all of the bases with the costs and expenses of moving, trying to balance time properly, and through all of it, I am finding myself in meltdown mode often as of late. I had one earlier. I just sat down in front of my bedroom door and cried for a few minutes. Then I'll think about the end result and I feel better, only to get overwhelmed again when I start doing things. I know I'll make it through this, but it's not easy. All I want to do is just lay in a dark hole somewhere and cry until it's over.
