Finally home from work, and.. baby sick. All over my leg. And constant wailing, as the poor chap is teething. So no sleep tonight, work tomorrow, and now I smell like cheese.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

My therapist cancelled on me, called in sick.
And didn't bother to call me until I was halfway there.

So I'm moving to a new city.
Should've been great, right? I rarely felt so alone.
Nobody gives a shit, much. Parents will lend me a hand financially, though I can see they're not very happy about my decision. Dad first told me if I needed any help he's there for me, but he won't lend me his car or drive me there so I can take all my things at once.
My girlfriend has been pressuring me to visit more often or move for quite some time. Now that I'm moving, she just looks awkward about it. Like fulfilling this need we both had is making her scared, or somehow realize she didn't quite want it yet, even though she's just a few days ago been calling me a liar and promise-breaker when I was telling her I'm not sure when I can actually move and if the project will be greenlighted by the sponsors.
It's even a good move, I think, for jobhunting, as I'll be readily available at the spot instead of having to take a 5 hour train ride every time I get an interview, but it's like it didn't matter.
Come to think of it, the gf has been growing gradually colder and more distant since valentine's day, even though that weekend went splendid at the time. Used to basically come to life when I came around, now it's becoming... lukewarm at best. She gets angry about anything and everything. Now, I could blame this on some hormonal pills she's taking lately, maybe they're making her antsy, and everything will work out once she's done with them (rather soonish). I know she's not seeing or fancying anyone else (and yes, I can be certain of that in case you wondered). But hey. Just a week ago when I first mentioned my plan to move she was ecstatic about it pretty much, so much that I felt pressured into saying I could do it next (this) week, hence the liar/promise breaker line above. Then she asked - on three separate occasions - if I won't hold it against her for moving to that particular city if things didn't work out (to which I say no as it's as good a city to move to as any in my situation, and that's actually true). I also know that she's growing apart from two of her closest friends in about the same time frame, which may be an additional clue.
Now, I don't know how ladies think, so is her going cold (a mutual female friend of ours even told her eye to eye that she could be nicer to me) like this is just trying to make me hate her so I break it off so she can feel no blame for doing it herself? Is she feeling scared of moving somewhat forward in the relationship (mind you, not a shared flat, just the same city for a change)? Is it hormone therapy screwing with her brain? Or is it a deepening depression perhaps?
Damn. I'll have a lot more input in the coming week(s), so the view may change, but this is seriously messing with my groove. I hope it won't be "back to MMOs for social interaction" for me...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I commend you for building up the courage and the resources to move. It'll be worth it - even if things fall apart with your girlfriend. I certainly hope things work out - for sure, it'll be easier to talk to her face to face and pick up on the unspoken things - and that you two get through this rough patch.
Keep in mind that I'm of the opinion that your girlfriend wants to know that you're still passionate for her and that you still believe strongly. Surprise her with some flowers or something small, yet delightful next time you can. That'll buy you a bit of time and breathing room.

Well, she does seem to avoid eye contact, and to look anywhere else but at me. Could be guilt, could be fear, I'm no expert on human behavior, but it also has been making me nervous. Odd thing, though. I was there wednesday and on thursday morning, and while a tad reserved at first, on wednesday she was more like her usual self from before, yet on thursday morning reserved and withdrawn again.

Just did that yesterday when I popped to town for a job interview, paid her a visit with some nice roses. Got me a kiss but otherwise little reaction. Still avoiding eye contact and speaking to me while looking another way. That worries me more than anything else. I just don't get it. One day she can be all over me so much I get a bit awkward about it in public places. The next day she might be like whatever.
Oh and yeah, one more thing - I'm experiencing a fuckload of my good old friend fear right now regarding the move and change myself, maybe it's just clouding my judgement

Goddammit Gothos, stop trying to be a mind reader. Just tell her you are nervous about moving, still really want to do and then ask her if she still feels the same way about you moving there that she did before. Say that you feel like she's being a bit withdrawn, but mention that you also think it could be your aforementioned nerves about moving making you feel this way.
You don't lose points by being honest about how you feel.

I just haven't really felt too good and it's starting to impact my friends.

Not knowing your girlfriend or the relationship you have with her (or you, for that matter), I can imagine where her nervousness is coming from; if it was me in her shoes, I'd be running for the hills right now. Nevermind that she's been asking you to move to her city, the fact that you're moving there now would put an immense amount of pressure on her. If all you have in that city is her, she'll feel responsible for your well being (or I would), and by this will fear for her own personal space. So to secure her personal space, she push you away. And so any grand gesture of love will at this point be seen as clinging and an infringement of personal space. This isn't necessarily opaque vagina thinking, it can be understandable human behaviour.
What you should do instead is to find another reason to be in that city. A job would be a good place to start, if you don't already have one.

God damned MASSIVE tooth-ache, Infected, broken Molar... bloody fucking hell it hurts. My Right side of my face is fine... The entire left side is HUGE and swollen... I look like some MMA ass practiced on my left jaw.....
Meh. 3 days of this hell so far... Meds aren't helping yet - pain meds barely take the edge off (and I'm on three kinds, only one is strong, Percacet if that's how you spell it.)
AAAAAnd no Dental insurance. So not only is my face screwed to hell and back right now, but I'll also get raped on the back end when trying to fix it.
Bah.
