My youngest son (28) is moving with his g/f and my granddaughter to Arizona...and I'm so sad (even though it's only one state away, I know it's not that bad...but I'm still very sad). I'm going to say 'goodbye' tomorrow, and I hate to cry (especially in front of my son). All of these memories from raising him (and my oldest, who is 30 and lives in town...but doesn't really call much) are on my mind.....and although I'm sad, I'm glad he has a family and is going to experience life! I'm an only child (and not married, etc.) and my parents have been deceased for years....so it's a lonely type of feeling. I will be strong, though, and not let on about these fears with him....I'm sure he has his own feelings he's dealing with.
I also received a letter from social security directing me to go to a 'mental exam' with a psychologist. I'm stressed about that, mainly nerves from when I went for my neuropsych eval/testing in 2011.....it was exhausting, and I'm nervous that the 'mental exam' with a psych is going to be the same type of situation. Has anyone else gone for this type of exam for social security? I'm not sure why they are sending me; they already have all of my medical records from my neuro, etc. With the other issues I'm experiencing (yes, I'm depressed and being treated by my primary doc; worked for mental health people for 20+ years, so don't go to a therapist), I'm afraid I will burst into tears when asked the first question.
Thanks for letting me vent a bit....it's horrible to be alone and 'overthink' things that may not be as scary as they seem, and I'm grateful to have this forum.
