So - applying for a lease on a home, packing everything, closing on the sale of our house next week, then moving, son starting kindergarten, and my period is coming next week too. I'm happy, sad, stressed, overwhelmed.

Any words of comfort or wisdom to help through this crazy time?

Thanks!

What can I do next?

If at first you don't succeed, cry, cry again.

Just take deep breaths, and remember when you go to sleep at night, to actually go to sleep. Don't lay there re-thinking everything you have to do in the morning/next day/next week. Make a list and write it down, so you don't worry yourself over forgetting some detail.

Awesome! So many new exciting thing happening & changes! I've been in similar situations & I have no ideas how I got through them but just keep in mind that "this too shall pass". Take it day by day. Get organized & stay on task. Ask for help from others if needed. And best of all in the mist of all the craziness take care of you. I know its easier said than done but hang in there. Good Luck

My yoga instructor said "if you dont have time to do anything else, at least take 9 very deep, slow yoga breathes every day" breathe in deeply thru your nose, fill your abdomen with air, then slowly slowly breathe out thru nose.

Just make sure you don't pack the lease in a moving box, or worse, send it in your son's kindergarten backpack by accident! :) Good luck to you!

Make a list and breathe... it will all get done one thing at a time.

And if that doesn't work, have some wine.
