I have had anxiety and panic disorder for 5 years now which has made me miss so many opportunities in my life. My boyfriend recently got accepted to his top school in virginia for a masters program and our plan is to move there together within the next 3 months. At first, i was so excited to finally get to start a new chapter of my life as I have never left home and went to college locally. However, the more real it gets and the closer it gets, I am starting to panic and want to back out. Where we are planning to go is 8 hours from my home and i’m just really worried something is going to happen to my family or to me and i won’t be near them. I know my family wants me to be closer to home and i’m just feeling so torn on what i should do. I’m also leaving behind all of my longtime friends. I love my bf so much and we have talked about living together for years now, i’m just worried about being so far but i also don’t want to miss another big opportunity in my life. I guess i’m just looking for support or advice if someone has experienced a similar situation.
