I need some help. I am on my 4th week of the program, and it has done wonders for me. I feel myself becoming stronger everyday. However, things in my life have been shaken up recently. I think I have a fear of change. In the past I just figured that I had my system of doing things and it made me happy. I dont know what to do. I mean "blah blah blah, embrace the change"... I know in theory this should work. Im so scared though. So, does anybody else have this problem? How do you deal with it? I would really love any insight. Thank you...

hey there pixi,yes i have a fear of change.looks like you got through lesson3. thats good. i need to make some changes. i was also doing well, but got sidetracked.i'm not sure what change you are talking about. more info? anita

Hi Anita! Thanks for the reply. Recently my boyfriend asked me to move in with him. Im excited about starting a new life with him, but it also means leaving the house that I have lived in since I was 8 (I just turned 25) I spend most of time with him (or at school....or at work) anyways, but just the thought of this not being my home anymore freaks me out. I think part of it is feeling guilty leaving my parents. Is this crazy?

Pixie,
No its not crazy, its what you became accustomed to, and with anxiety, it makes it even harder to move into change. Change is not always bad, sometimes it carrys us through to knowing we really did want the change. Sometimes we are forced to change, which is more difficult to accept. But, if this change is because YOU want, it cant be a bad change, just something new like a new adventure. If its time to change your living arrangement you will know inside. Your parents arent going anywhere, they will still be there.. You would just be living in a different house... Take care Nelly
