I don't know what happened, but suddenly today my mom and I got talking about how we just want to leave. We want to move down to Alabama (where we vacation every year), and just... forget here. The past day or two, we have both been kind of ignoring calls/texts from friends, and we've just generally been feeling at unrest with being here. We've lived here for 22 years, so, I don't know why suddenly we're sick of it.
Anyway, we were just discussing it when my dad called. There's been rumors of a retirement package where people could retire a little early (they want some of the older, higher paid people out so they can get younger people in that don't cost as much). Anyway, mom and I are talking, phone rings, and dad says "If I can get the retirement package, do you want me to go ahead and take it?" Mom said "Yeah," because if anything happens with his heart or anything before he retires, he could lose it. All of a sudden he says "Let's just get it. Then, I don't know, maybe we should just move out of state and be done here."
Neither of us had said a word to him!
I don't know what's with us, but all of us have this... bug... to get out of here. We want to move, and we're all just sick of being here.
I've also lately been having anxiety anytime I'm away from my son or my mom. I get really stressed out and panicky. A 20 minute trip to the grocery store sometimes involves me calling home 2 or 3 times. My mom has been having the same sort of panic situation lately, where she just wants all of us home as often as possible, and gets nervous anytime any of us are gone/away from her.
I just don't know what's going on, but all of us seem to just be out of sorts.
Has anyone felt like this? Do you think it's an anxiety thing, or...?
