To trust my gut instinct

3 replies

I don't know if I am being a bit silly but I have applied for a full time job in a new town. Moving would mean I could buy a house & stop renting. I currently work part time.
Since I applied, I feel sick! It feels all wrong! Despite renting, I enjoy my part time job & want to carry on as I am until DD starts school next year.
The thought of upheaval & moving away from all my networks fills me with horror- I applied mainly because of the house situation. My instinct tells me its all wrong but is that ridiculous?
Am I being unreasonable to trust my gut or should my rational, logical side make the decision? I feel like I am sending myself mad with the indecision but I can't describe how strongly it 'feels' wrong!!
Has anyone been in this situation before? Head or heart I guess!

I'd say it's just normal fear. I've just emigrated for better housing and lifestyle....but before I went I got terribly emotional about things in my life which I didn't even value!

Owning a home is important.

I sort of feel for you, I'm applying for a new job, money is much much better, but I just got a new job which is term time only so fit in better with dc's particulary youngest.
I'm not sure if it's a gut feing for me, or whether it's a fear that because the money is so much better I won't get it or if I do I won't cope with the hours/stress/role.

Don't worry to much know, see if you get it first, and how the people are

I think its quite normal. Lots of changes involve one thing at a time, in your case its much more than that. When I accepted a job which was a total change of direction for me I was utterly panic stricken that I was making a massive mistake, in the end it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. Good luck.
