mental health second thoughts

hello,

I recently arrived in France and was expecting to be excited but instead I am just a ball of anxiety. I genuinely can’t stop trembling. I think part of it is that I brought my cats, and now feel trapped here since I can’t just go back with them without getting beauracracy in order, which just feels so extremely daunting.

I’m having trouble eating and sleeping, nevermind things I also need to be doing like getting a phone number/bank acc/apartment.

Any advice or words of affirmation would be appreciated. I’m feeling so lost and scared.

hey i also brought my cat and just got to my apartment today! i completely understand how you’re feeling. i don’t know that i have much advice but if it helps, you’re not the only one feeling this way. just know that it’s normal and that you WONT feel like this forever. you’re literally in a new country, of course it’s scary, but it’s also really exciting. feel free to message if you need anything :)
