So I’m finally moved. I don’t even know what I’m feeling cause it’s so many different things. I’ve moved so many times in my life, but the last couple years the moves were still within the city & I guess as the same time as it was rough I got a little used to it 


Now where I moved is like 6-7 hours away but I feel like I’m in a different world, moving from the Bronx Nyc to now a very rural area feels like a different country in a way 


I went to the pharmacy today to get medication that my old doctors sending refills for a couple months till I establish new doctors, everything is so slow pace around here, so different 


My PTSD (well is always there) but kickin in worrying about different things, one good thing is that I’m farther away from my ex that’s stalked me then I’ve ever been 


But I’m scared about different things, I know I stick out cause my accent & stuff & scared people will judge me but I guess I should give it a chance & try not to think that way 


People around here that don’t know you wave at you & say hi & stuff & well it makes me feel scared being noticed, don’t get me wrong I’m nice & say hi back but my PTSD triggers are everywhere 


Im also scared cause & really hope I can find good doctors around here with all my health/injury stuff. I’m so scared about finding a therapist/phyic 


Ive been hurting bad & resting the last couple days my body’s so soar, I have no idea how I even accomplished this move, guess it’s surprising what we can do sometimes 



The nature around here is really nice though so maybe this is what I need & maybe it will help me heal in some ways I hope 


Idk maybe I just went on but didn’t really say anything 


so if anyone read this thank you 


Hugs to everyone <3

It's as natural as rain to be skittish with a change as big as that.

Easy does it, Missy. Keep us posted. You are not alone.

((((hugs)))) i just went through a move last year. took me this whole past year to get used to the new place. i was skittish as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs for months. i went from a farm out in the middle of nowhere to a busy apartment complex. i still jump when the neighbors go in and out or someone knocks on my door. its normal to go through all those triggers for people like us. i found lots of time for self care helps.

i can related to the fear of feeling judged. i learned you don't have to tell people everything about myself right up front. slow and easy gettin to know people, a little mystery makes you interesting *wink*

we're all here to listen and support. trees are really good listeners too.

That was a big move. Hope being in nature is helpful to you; I live in a broken down Appalachian town of empty buildings since half the town left when the factories closed in the 80s. But the mountains around us are beautiful. I can't hike in them, but I just got back from going for a drive in them. It helps calm me. Hope nature works like that for you, too, lilmiss.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
