Every difficult stage I go through I keep telling myself- once this is over it will all be easier. Then it's slightly less stressful for a few days and then the next thing comes and hits me.
First it was agreeing on the finances. Then finding a house. Then getting quotes on work needed. Then renegotiating the price. All of these things have been a massive source of anxiety for me. I don't know what I would do without work to distract me.
Now I'm so worried and anxious that taking me off the current mortgage is going to delay me purchasing my new house. I'm scared that it will delay things so much that it will fall threw. I'm scared to talk to the estate agents and ask them what stage the vendors are upto with their onward chain because I don't want that to hurry them up which would put more pressure on me.
My STBX is being cooperative but very slow due to his own stress levels. He hasn't even got a solicitor yet to do the legal form for getting me off the mortgage yet. I can't do that for him as he has to apply for me to be taken off.
I feel like the level of anxiety and stress I have is not sustainable but I don't know what else to do. I have weekly therapy. I'm keeping up with work, friends and exercise. I'm distrusting of light at the end of the tunnel because I feel like there's all these other stressful steps that I have to go through that I am only aware of once I am in them.
Thanks in advance for any kind of support.
