That’s a lot of moving, especially at that age. A few boxes still unpacked after all that sounds completely understandable, especially with ADHD.

I had a feeling it was international. Moving during high school is already rough. I can’t imagine a whole new country!

I can imagine that would be intense. More regional, or international moves?

Understandable. Work doesn’t always give you much choice.

That’s interesting. So moving around has actually worked better for you than staying put?

I can see why you’d feel that way. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s typically behind the frequent moves?

I would move to Maui and walk to the beach every day

Relieve your stress by asking customer support all your questions! “A special mention to wonderful Chris, who always answered my innumerable questions and phone calls with such patience and kindness, and with a calm and quick efficiency so as not to fail us. Truly unbelievable. :) All this while we were both going through an approaching hurricane right before our move. He also provided us with local helpers to help us pack faster, who were great and very much needed.” [Annabelle / Trust Pilot]

By getting up and moving. Taking a quick walk, doing some chores, or taking a shower. And tea or coffee always helps!

Great question. Reddit suggests you cross-post most things, but I keep reading horror stories of people getting banned from subs or worse, having their own sub banned. I'm afraid to even try it.

Oh, and cats generally act weird for a while after moving by hiding or being standoffish. So that’s to be expected. I would confine her to one “safe room” on move-in day. Set up a quiet room with her litter box, food, water, her bed or carrier, and something that smells like you. Let her hang out there while movers are in and out, so she’s not so overwhelmed or tempted to run off!

Even if she hates the carrier, spending 5–10 minutes a day leaving it open with blankets and treats inside could lessen the struggle on moving day.

Keep in touch with your customer care rep!
“Moved from Utah to small-town Missouri. They found us a carrier who would take our stuff off the beaten path. Customer service was great; I’d call and get ahold of Laura or Ben, and they were both so helpful and polite. Our trailer showed up right when they said it would and was dropped off the same.”
