Re: Panic attacks anyone?
Dont get me started on men Laura lol.
Im so glad im here now cant imagine being back in Uk but it did take time to settle.
I have some fab mates here one in particular Alison who is like a sister to me we met 3 years ago at work and have been inseparable since, holidays together etc.
Siren AKA Christina my very first friend and the one who really helped me settle here in Perth, we met 3 years ago and although now live in different suburbs meet up weekly.
Old posters Jill The Banana Diaries, Vegemite Kids, Teresa, Jopualus.
We used to have regular coffee meets at each others houses thats how we met each other even started a thread the glass shoe diaries accounting our weekly meets lol.
Going from leaving all my mates in the UK to starting a fresh was daunting but I now find it hard to keep in touch with my mates over here.

Can anyone confirm that they too (as the big day approaches), are getting panicky about the whole move. One minute I am up and the next. Oh my god - will I get a job, where are we going to live? why, when who the list goes on and on.........
And then as I am feeling right now, i think what the hell and think well its just another adventure!
I am confident that positive thoughts make positive things happen but can't get these bad negative thoughts out of my head. I have 3 weeks left here in the UK!!!
ARGGHHHH

Re: Panic attacks anyone?
I've started getting the ups & downs as it gets nearer & actually seems real! Before if I heard people saying this, I was like just get on with it, it's an opportunity, all good experience, blah blah blah but in practice it's difficult to ignore the panicky feelings. I try to keep a lid on it but I'm finding selling the house very hard as it's our first house & I really like it, esp with the garden looking nice this time of year
Still, on the plus side maybe the stressing will help me lose a few pounds

Re: Panic attacks anyone?
I am so glad to hear that others are finding it difficult.
I have so much to sort out before I go to NZ...and it is a scary prospect as I don't have much time to do it in.
Also keep wondering whether i am making the right decision (which deep down I know I am) and how I will find missing my family!
So....my emotions are up and down constantly :curse:

Re: Panic attacks anyone?
I sometimes think are we doing the right thing but I know we are really. I don't want to be one of those people that say to me "I had the oppotuninty to go but I didn't and now I regret it". If at worst I want to be one of those that say yes we tried it but it didn't work out or at best yes we love it here ten years down the line. But I do think about it all the time and sometimes it can be quite overwhelming.

Re: Panic attacks anyone?
Thats us as well,don't want to go to my maker thinking "what if" we have been given an opportunity and we are grabbing it by both horns even though it is costing a fair bit, but worth it anyway friends and family are only an e-mail away also a good way to find out your true friends and those who are just after a cheap holiday.
Plus there isnt enough hours in the day (to get stuff shut down and organised)- so glad gave up work early. Its really heavy going this last stint for us, more than I imagined it would be.
People have decided they are coming to the airport, which I am dreading - including my son who isnt emigrating just yet with us. Dreading walking through passport control with people upset on the other side, really dreading it.

Re: Panic attacks anyone?
I must have missed this thread first time around. We fly in just under 2 weeks, has anyone felt guilt??? this last couple of weeks I have experienced a proper choking feeling where it feels someone has their hand on my throat and guilt at taking my husband and kids away from his side of the family and my kids away from their friends. I am normally a heavy cryer, but now I just stand there choked so poeple think I am not upset - its really wierd.

Re: Panic attacks anyone?
Hey dont forget, It is yourself your husband and your kids you are doing this for. I promise you will not regret it. Rochdale vs Sunshine coast No comparison.And all those people who will be so upset at you leaving will not even bother to call you after 6 months when the novelty has worn off. Dont know about the airport though absolutely banned everyone from that .Went the night before and stayed in the Raddison.Take care and see u soon
