Retirement/Fear
by Debi
(Utah)
I will be retiring in two months (in September). I have been so excited about it, until the day that I met with our retirement office and put in my actual notice.
All of a sudden that afternoon it hit me like a ton of bricks, that feeling that I was facing death. Why do I suddenly feel like I just handed in my death notice?
Within a few days I started feeling aches and pains that I never felt before and started feeling fear of bad health and death. I am wondering if anyone else has had this experience?
I am not in bad health, I felt great, until I put in my retirement notice, and suddenly I feel extremely tired and afraid. I am hoping this is normal and that it will go away once I actually start living my retirement life.
Has anyone else had a similar experience when retiring?
