The question to ask yourself, might be … what is it about going forward that makes you feel stressed? Fear of the unfamiliar, the unknown?
Nothing unusual about this. Hope you feel less claustrophobic soon. You have alot going on right now. Maybe, what you’re feeling just needs to be felt and worked through. Life can be like that. We can spend time questioning “Why is it so?” when what we need to do is allow all that emotion to pass. There’s a reason why people feel overwhelmed, claustrophobic, fearful … sometimes, time needs to be allowed for processing and adjusting to the new and different future.
