Panic and existential dread
The things that happen to me in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. I'm thinking about the move ahead, about how much I will have to pay in rent at the new place, the thought of all that money, for deposits, moving expenses, etc., before I see a single paycheck. I will be paying rent at two places because the place I am living now requires a 60 notice to vacate. No other fees, though, to break the lease.
My boyfriend has had to talk me off the ledge more than once already. I'm in full-bore panic mode tonight. I think this is what David Foster Wallace called the "howling fantods". If it isn't the precise definition, I don't care, I like the phrase.
Tomorrow I will inform my colleagues that I am leaving. Nervous about that too, although I don't know why; I've never really fit in here.

is not to worry.
But as the old saying goes: If you worry about something that hasn't happened yet, you have to suffer through it twice.
Best of luck!
Right now, your brain is out of control, and the more you think about the 'unknowns' of the future, the worse it gets, especially when you're trying to sleep.
Meditation works for me; when you focus on your breathing, your brain can't stay stuck in the worry cycle and lets you relax.
but save $, time and aggravation, re: commute.
