Lost in transition

I am feeling very frustrated at the moment.

My life is undergoing a big transition - or will be in a couple of months and I am terrified. I recently went for and got, the job of my dreams - yet I don't feel elated. I feel scared. I have been studying for 10 years doing various degrees, culminating in the PhD. All that time doing one thing in one place means that moving on has become something that fills me with fear. Finishing the PhD by September will require some serious graft and I can't motivate myself. It's like I'm on self destruct.

We will also be moving. Not too far, but to another county. That too is exciting and any chance to move away from our dreadful, odious neighbours is great.

So why do I feel so on edge? It doesn't help that just when I started working hard this week I have been struck down by a throat virus which has left me sapped of energy. How can I turn the corner and get the work done!?
