This always happens with me.Whenever I have to leave home to go somewhere else,I begin feeling uneasy from the privious day.Tomorrow I have to go to a city for an urgent work and now I am feeling restless.I don't know whether I would be able to have a sound sleep tonight.I have to leave home early in the morning,and I am waiting for the morning restlessly.I don't know why this happens.Do you have any clue?

Maybe you need some kind of a long vacation? You know...just to refresh your mind and energy. Take for at least a week off of your job if it's possible. I think it's going to make you feel better when you go back to work the week after.

Actually,ma'm,I want to take a leave from the whole world.Yes,I need a rest,so does my mind which is always visualizing something bad and unfavorable going to happen as a result of what I am going to do.A few days's physical and mental rest would certainly re-energige me.My mind really needs to forget everything happening in my life.So many bitter experiences and harsh struggles of life have turned me negative.That's why I want to do right now what I have to do the next morning.I don't want to keep waiting for a prospective troublesome moment.

So go out of town, find an entirely new environment and people. Go abroad if you can afford it. You'll feel fresh and new.

Yes,you have showed me the way.Perhaps leaving my hometown and going somewhere else and start life afresh is the only solution to my problem.I really need a new environment.

It's usually the fear of the unknown, or you are anxious about an event, going somewhere different or doing something different. Your mind won't rest because it's thinking about tomorrow, you are processing it in your mind and whilst your mind is active and won't rest, you will find it difficult to sleep. I hope the day went ok for you in the end, usually we tend to worry too much and then when it's over we think, why were we so concerned about it, the day turned out just fine.

I agree with you,and I think the memory of my past experiences play a major role in it.Most of the time in my past I had had undesirable and unexpected failures.These memories still keep haunting me.I want to be positive,but now I think it would take me some time to to reshape myself and start thinking with a new approach to problems.

I feel for you because I used to have the same feeling if I had to drive a long way the next day. I slept badly and my stomach we upset. The reason for this was that I was afraid that something might go wrong with the car, or that I might take a wrong turning and lose my way. Perhaps fear is at the root of your problem too, you might be uneasy about how you will perform at the job, or perhaps how others will react to you. I am sure this will eventually pass as you grow used to being in strange places with strange people. You are plucky, I wish you well and a safe return home.

Maybe you are just used to always in your house and slept there so you are not sleeping that well. And maybe you are just tired and stress. Drink milk before you got to bed. It may help you to have a sound sleep.

No,I don't want to remain home all the time,but yes,I am under stress,intolerable stress.My body and mind,especially my mind,desperately wants to take rest.My life has been fraught with struggles.Struggles and continuous struggles have left me extremely tired mentally.I just can't wait for a struggle that is going to take place the next morning.I want to live the moment right now.That's the sole reason of my restlessness.

Yes,it too happens with me.And sometimes i don't sleep on previous day at all.Therefore to avoid this i do works which i like very much.And in this way i prepare myself for next day's journey.And i made it a habit to do this,and that is why now i don't feel tensed or uneasy before going to any other place.It's little bit different,but it's true in my case.

That means,you tend to hurry.Perhaps you can't wait too like me.You want the trian to come right now so that you may begin your journey right now.Something alike happens with me.My mornings are not peaceful.I go to bed every night knowing quite well that I would have a brush with yet another struggle the next morning.I want to face the moment right now.As this is impossible,I feel restless.

What is supposed to happen on that place when you go there? Are you going on a meeting , or present something to a group of people?

No,neither a meeting nor a presentation.These are things that I like.I frequently have to go to courts to fight a case filed for partition of joint property or something like that.My nephews want things to go their way,but if they succeed,we would end up landing on more troubles.All this has been happening for years and I have got fed up with all this.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i can understand your situation and i think it is because of your too much of thinking that is causing u to feel uneasy before going anywhere. Whenever u are going anywhere do not think about the results or consequences and i am sure u will have all positive and good things happening your way. Stay relaxed and think positive! What say?

You are right.After going through your post I pondered over my feelings deeply andcame to realize that I really think too much.Actually my life has been fraught with harsh struggles and so I now to have some peace of mind and body.I agree I am apprehensive of unfavorable consequences.I fear the result of what I am going to do will probably not be in my favor.So I want the moment to pass as soon as possible.May be this is the cause of my restlessness.
