Re: why can't I cope longer?
It is great news to hear that you picked up your van @Former-Member I look forward to hearing all about how you set it up - so exciting
It was good to finish the week and get to the weekend - Fridays seem to be very long with a lunch duty with the Kinders and then the preps all afternoon. Next week I will only have 2 days at work as I have a 2 day workshop Monday and Tiesday. Those will be long days but I am interested in the topic so it should be good.
Hope you have a good weekend playing with your van

Re: why can't I cope longer?
Liking your posts because the system won't let me do it the usual way. Or edit... bit over it 😕 Anyway, Gotchya posts.
Today I bought x2 new cot mattresses at an OP shop $20 each. This will be my 'L' shape lounge / bed 🙂 Figure the springs will be more comfe than foam.
Its starting to come together. The neighbours cat was intrigued, stepping up in to investigate, then sit in the doorway looking out at me 🙂 friendly little thing.
You know, it occurred to me that there's nobody in my REAL life I can tell about my new wheels... Their seems to be negativity & opposition to my Road Trip plans... I'm glad I have you guys here though 🙂
Will try venture out to find your threads more.

Re: why can't I cope longer?
I personally think it is a great thing you are doing @Former-Member - get out there and experience life while you can. You never know what will be around the corner and what wonderful experiences you may have if you don't give it a go. This could be amazing for you EOR

Re: why can't I cope longer?
Ever get that feeling of DRED - that you've made a terrible mistake?

Re: why can't I cope longer?
I think what you are feeling is quite natural @Former-Member You have been on an adrenalin high since you got the van and with the release of a little of that adrenalin you are having some moments of thinking you have made a mistake. What you are doing is very brave and also exciting but there is also the reality of getting everything ready and then actually getting out on your own. That can also be quite scary but I have the belief in you that not only can you do that but you will enjoy the adventure also.

Re: why can't I cope longer?
@Zoe7, appreciate your post, while
You know, while clucking around in the van I had a terrible thought that iIwas doing out my own coffin 😞 ... ... and that triggers the anxiety ... that I'll mess up, get too stressed and not be able to find help, and quietly slip away. ......
REALLY HATE THESE NVASIVE DEATH THOUGHTS! They're not mine! Idont want them! Yet here iiam stuck with this involuntary mental default, especially when iileast need it 😞 Are we, the depressed EVER free of them? My 'thorn in the he flesh' maybe... so exhausting.
