I have to move in a couple of weeks and I’m paralysed with anxiety. The new place is bigger, so more expensive, and my brain keeps overthinking of worst case scenarios. What if me and/or my partner lose our jobs, and can’t pay rent and become homeless. I often find myself worrying about becoming homeless when neither I or any of my family members have ever been homeless. I’ve had to move quite a bit during my childhood so I know thats where the fear is rooted in. But I need to get over this so I can move and enjoy our new place. This constant feeling of fight or flight takes away from all my life experiences.

I also keep finding things I don’t like about the new place. It has everything we need, except for a couple superficial things which are not dealbreakers (A kitchen island or a good view). But I keep getting these thoughts that once we move in I will hate it because of these missing things. I keep hoping that this might fall through so I won’t have to move. But that would be horrible, bc we really do need more space.

What are your strategies to get over anxiety over change? How do you detach yourself from the outcome?
