Emotionally Overwhelmed

asf · Kate Spade

(hugs)!

things will get better once you move, i promise! it would be hard enough right now if you were just going through one of these things - moving, ex's new gf, said new gf being pregnant - so of course you feel overwhelmed!

once you get settled in your new place, make a new friend or two, and see the hot male prospects in your new neighborhood you'll be better than ever.

so have a drink or two and get ready for your new and improved life!

The thing is, you DIDN"T cause all of these situations. You had nothing to do with your ex's idiocy, the condom that broke, the jerkwads who try to treat all women like ego trips, the poor parenting that caused a couple douchebags to be super needy, the messed up business climate, and so on. But you ARE doing something for yourself, despite all this crap. And I think you're really brave, and so much stronger than almost anyone. It's too easy to blame yourself - doing that gives people the illusion that they have control. And unfortunately, you don't. But what you can control, you are doing a beautiful job of handling. I am so impressed with your move, and SanFran is going to be AWESOME!

(((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))) of course Iam not sure of all the details but it sounds like this move is just what you need. Hang in there and we are here if you need to talk.

I agree with Dizzy.

I think you're so freaking brave to pick up and move to a new city. It's a terribly hard thing to do. But it sounds like it couldn't come at a better time, right?

San Fran will be awesome. It'll be a little hard at first, of course, but the city is so alive and friendly that I'm sure it will be no time before you feel right at home. And you deserve a fresh start where you don't have to be constantly reminded of some very painful memories (and events still to occur, ahem, birth).

Hang in there and try to get excited about all the amazing new adventures you're about to experience.

I moved from Tulsa to Dallas when I was 21, though I did so with two friends, it was definitely emotional to move away. However, as soon as I started working and meeting new people my age, the feeling wore off quickly! I still missed people from home, but distraction with new people a great way to move on. Good luck!
