Hi i posted something similar yesterday in general and had some nice responses. I thought I may get more replies if I posted in migration. The reality that we may get our visa granted soon has hit me and nerves are taking over. My emotions jump from real excitement to omg what am I doing which I think a lot of people will experience and is normal. I'm looking for support from people taking the same path either preparing to emigrate or who have emigrated. I sometimes feel that no one understands how I'm feeling so talking to others in the same situation will be a great help. I'm trying hard not to drive myself insane :unsure:

Thank you for all your kind words of support and it's a great help knowing others are going through the same emotions. Keeping busy and not obsessing with leaving is key but hard to do when there's planning and preparation at the forefront of your mind. Our families don't really talk about it as I suspect it's painful for them. My friends are keeping me busy with having fun and making memories. A new day today to start to stay focused on why we started the emigration in the first place. Argh! I can do this "keep calm and emigrate" haha. Mxmanus I can't believe your from Corby too that really made my day I hope you keep in touch with your progress and settling in when you's arrive. I sent you a pm.

I really enjoyed reading your post. My self and my partners visa application is looking positive and we're looking at moving to Brisbane. I'm scared of loneliness but having the right attitude and joining in with things I'm sure will get me through. Leaving family and friends is starting to tug on my heart strings and it will be a tough thing to do. The view from your balcony is lovely. The life style out there is just so inviting it's hard to resist

Hi I'm new to the group and looking for advice from people who have emigrated. It's a massive decision and I think feeling scared but excited of your new adventure is normal. Also the leaving family and friends is gonna be tough. I'm on a mind blowing roller coaster of emotions and slowly driving myself insane! Looking for support and advice from people who have made a new life in Oz :unsure:
