Default Feeling sick, can't eat or sleep

Feeling sick, can't eat or sleep. This is what our friends have been feeling since Friday. Only getting 3 hrs sleep a night, only eating 1 meal a day, then feeling sick.

Reason for this: They got their Visa's

I thought it would be a time to celebrate and enjoy. Anyone else feel like this?

Sounds more like morning sickness if you ask me

I haven't felt sick but I haven't slept properly since I got my visa over a month ago, the reason being that's when I realised how much I had to organize for the move. Its also stressful because it is a step into the unknown.

I have a knot the size of a fist in my stomach (and no, its not the dodgy prawn bhuna I had last night).

Being on the threshold of a life changing event is bound to have it's own unique pressure. I'm finding it REALLY hard to concentrate on my work (they know of my pending move but I haven't handed my notice yet) since my mind is full with how we will manage this from end-to-end. Dates. Meetings. Shipments. Viewings. Family issues.

Every house viewing is a cliff hanger, every email / phone call from job prospects a jangle of the nerves, every conversation with friends and family tense and edgy.

We have our visas. It seems the stress is just beginning.

The Joys of life, i do believe that all what we go through is a real test. Some will pass sadly some will fell.

We arrived 8 weeks ago, glad to say all the hell is there before you get into Oz and just to let you know it is a real anticlimax in customs theres no balloons or trumpets as there should be. I think its good to feel the stress now so that in the weeks after you arrive you can recall all the heartache getting in. ENJOY
