I can so relate to your situation. I am still adjusting but I started with a step down approach. I started by doing some volunteer work within my profession. That kept me connected without alot of stress or major accountabilities but I still was able to use my skill set. I have migrated away from that role since we moved here. Now I am doing some volunteer work for my church which is fulfilling because they need my organization skills. I am studying Tai Chi because it is helpful with the meditation part or my adjustment. I have learned to play Mahjongg which lets me use my brain and then I play bunco to laugh and meet lots of new friends. It's a process but I am loving my new life everyday. PM me if you want to get together when you move here.
