Here I sit surrounded by packing boxes, packing my meagre possessions reading to move in with my gf. I'm scared, really scared. What if it all goes belly up? Sorting through memories and throwing out tons of garbage, throwing away lots of bad memories with it I hope.
I feel so sad. I'm mourning the losses tonight.

I'm trying to @Kurra. I'll get there in the end I'm sure. It's just the here and now which is hard. It's complicated by a flare up in my hallucinations at the moment. Things are moving waaaay too fast for me I think.
Thanks for thinking of me 😄

Thanks for your wishes @utopia. You are so right about making the now worse. I do tend to catastrophise some situations because of past experiences. However, I shouldn't let past traumas be my guide for the future either, otherwise my future won't be a very enjoyable one.
I'm a lot more relaxed now I am at 'home' back at my gf's place away from the packing boxes overwhelming me. Actually that word 'overwhelming' describes a lot how I felt last night and largely how I feel right now. I suppose it's a good thing I can actually put a finger on the word... something that was impossible last night.

I echo what everyone is saying here.
What I like to do when I move is bring the wheelie bin into the living room. Then I can just chuck whatever I don't want immediately. It feels so liberating.And it's more efficient then filling up bags and then taking them outside over and over. Definitely worth a go I reckon.

Thank you @utopia. Last night I would of been totally unable to recognise and name emotions at all. The power of hindsight eh?
@mrkotter my neighbours go through my bins, so I'm investing in a shredder first and then the wheelie bin is getting a good workout! 🙂
