Hi everyone
@tyme @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @Paperdaisy @Snowie @hanami abd others following
another stressed day
looked at a townhouse one street back from the beach. Nice but the body Corp is ridiculous. All these rules regulations. It’s now turned us off.
Im panicking because I feel we need to hurry up snd buy something.
i slept twice today. First this morning snd then early afternoon. Hoping I can sleep better tonight but I somehow doubt it with all the stress in my head.

Sorry @BlueBay ,
I think I've been out of the loop. I've just realised you've sold your place! Congratulations!
In terms of purchasing a place, I remember you visiting a place about 20 mins from where you are now. Is that still an option?

We’re looking everywhere. We are limited to how much we can spend so we are looking a bit further out.
Im so stressed. What if we don’t find something in time. We’ll be homeless.
The uncertainty of not knowing is really difficult.

I hear you @BlueBay .
Life is full of uncertainty. That is the hardest part. Yet that is the part we are all faced with. Hence, from experience, I have learnt is it not about NOT having uncertainty, but rather, knowing how to manage the uncertainty.
I'm in the middle of two properties too. I don't know what I am doing either.
Sitting in the same boat as you,

Well let’s take our boat and sail away!!! Lol
i wish you all the best in finding another property.
i get what you mean. It’s my “panic” state of mind that I feel so stressed.
@tyme how do you stay positive and not stress or panic.

I am not stressed at all @BlueBay . I don't know where to move my stuff. I don't know how to move my stuff. I don't know if I even want to move my stuff or just throw it out.... yet I'm just cruising through. If anything, I feel like I need to be clearing out now... but myeh?
How do I stay 'positive'? Well, a kid once said to me "Expect to be disappointed, and you'll never be disappointed" LOL. Such is life. Radical Acceptance - to accept that which I cannot change. That's pretty much it.
I also find that the more I reach out to help others, the more relaxed I am 🙂 Perhaps I have realised that having meaning in life is not just about being 'happy', but rather, moving with whatever happens, knowing that that is my lot in life 🙂
Hugs, tyme

thanks @creative_writer @tyme @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @Snowie
another horrible night - awake at 1.30am, 4.30am and up at 6am. just could not sleep.
i am noticing that i am disocciating, going blank, starring at space for no reason. i have a feeling that my new med for the heart is causing these sleep issues. seeing my GP early monday morning so i will let him know.
i can't think - i need to look at property but it's becoming a bit obsessive. i think this is my problem that when i need to do something or look for something i obsess so much that i then go into overwhelm drive, panic and then hibernate from the world.

@BlueBaysounds like you had an awful night. Things always seem worse whenever sleep isn’t good. I hope your appointment went well with your GP ❤️
