I lived through moving to my new apartment. It was physically exhausting. It was mentally overwhelming. Right in the middle of the move my 18 year old daughter decided it would be a good time to call me out on all my parenting flaws. I was also juggling pdoc, doctor and physical therapy appointments. My stress level was so high I had no idea where it even was. But I lived. I took my meds, I tended to my sleep hygiene and eating and I did a lot of breathing techniques. And I lived. I’m so proud, I’ve never handled this much stress so well.

Wow , something like that should boost your confidence in general.

It seemed like the older I got, the better my parents seemed in retrospect. I hope your daughter progresses to some point of greater appreciation of you. I’m glad you survived the moving.

Way to go, tera! I’m impressed that you mentioned breathing techniques because I’m just beginning to learn how vital they are. Now, how do you like your new apartment?

thanks all and I’m still working on liking the new apartment - we’re downsizing and for me that’s hard because you have to consider sentimentality when letting go of things and introspection can be painful
Well done. We are all stronger than we think.
