May Move

Post Reply New Topic

Help.

My husband has been told to advance in his company we may have to move. I have have never lived more then an hour away from where I were I grew up. I am freaking thinking of leaving my parents and other support family members here and having to move to the outskirts of a large city. And our daughter is very attached to them and as a baby I think she would be overwhelmed by leaving this area.

So far my husband sees moving as our only option since he has a descent job and appears to be able to advance in this crappy economy. He would loose it if I told him how I really feel...He would tell me to get the job which is laughable as I've never been overly employable in my life. We've often argued about that one

I suppose he is very aware of how I would react and isn't keen on starting a new job with a wife that is a recluse in a new area. He did say he is as apprehensive to get the offers, but just as apprehensive to not receive any new job placement.

I'm getting depressed just thinking about this whole deal

well maybe u can try it for a lil while, unless it can hurt to try it i dunno about ur relationship obv

thanks for sharing this real life dilemma

I just moved away from my family from NC to OR. Aspies get attached to places and routines within those places. Moving can be very disorienting for us. I made sure to have my favorite things readily available to pull out of my suitcase/boxes, etc. and I started establishing new routines as soon as possible. I also call my dad 1-2x a day. That helps.

Know your new digs well, its culture and whatsoever, and be happy that you are experiencing a new life out there! Yeah!

I did love to travel, see, do and learn, but over the years situations in life have caused my Social Anxiety to skyrocket. I don't know how to manage this bad SAD and Panic disorder... Suggestions?
