How to handle stress before moving?

[whyisitso]

I really wanna sleep, but I can't because of the stress. I do exercise and relax and talk to close people... But nothing really helps.
The moving is not a new thing to me, but this time it feels more stressful. It is probably because of the money and the fact that I move further away from school and at a shorter notice. I really liked the apartment at first, but then the stress took my happiness away and all I can think of is: what am I doing?
Have you ever been this stressed out? How have you handled it?

It's okay to be stressed out. I mean, if it's far away than you wanted, and under short notice, it's understandable to be under pressure.

But sometimes life is like that; where we have to jump when we're not ready to jump. If moving is something that has to be done, then so be it. After everything is finally over, treat yourself to a nice dinner. But worrying and working yourself up won't change anything at all, except make you feel more miserable. So, why even stress over it?

If you have money problems, see about selling something off, or cutting back some of your bills that you can be without, like Netflix, and stuff like that.

in the meantime just anticipate good things for the future, like we be curious and excited for the new area you'll move into. It's a new chapter. So, explore it.

Good answer!
I should stop being so stressed about being stressed, because I feel like this is a cycle. It just destroys my sleep and makes me all tired and negative. It is not a new area, I have lived there before, but in this situation it is a little too far away for my money. I am a student so I don't have much to cut off from, but I think I will manage somehow.

write down the positive things of the new location and the bad things about the old.

This is a very good one! I should try this.

Moving is always stressful, literally everything is scattered everywhere... and you are mentally disorganized.

Try to stay organized, unpack important stuff, don't worry about exercise for a weekend and your only goal is to unpack, and just get settled in.

When you are a bit settled in, you will feel a lot better!

Thanks for this! I love when you are being so honest about it... When i have anxiety and stress I tend to look at the negative things and when someone tries to make me see the positive I do see it but the negativity takes over, so when someone says something that really just is a neutral thing I believe that easier and it helps me more.
