These are five words that my husband says to me at least once a day, if not more. I have always been a very anxious person, but lately, it has gotten bad. The transition to Dickinson has been a hard one to take on. I am leaving so much.
*First and foremost, my parents. I have never been too far from home and that has always been a security for me.
*Second, I feel like I am leaving my brother. I know it is just a plot and a headstone, but to me it is still a comfort to know that I can stop anytime.
*Last but not least, is my job. The work has been tough and there have been a lot of times that I have felt that I just can't do it, but it is the people that I have became close to that have helped me through. It the social work field, it is your coworkers that help you through and become family, because they know exactly what you are going through.
"We will be just fine" is sometimes not a comfort. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving everything and starting over. I want to be with Dan, don't get me wrong, but I just have such an empty feeling leaving all I have ever known.
I know we will be just fine, but I just have to go down that bumpy road to get to it.

It's hard to move away from everyone and everything you know but it will be ok. The first few months I was here I was sad every day. It's still hard but just keep remembering why you are moving, that's what I do and it helps..:)
