Severe Anxiety triggered by moving out/changing "safe place"

Hi Katherine I think a lot of people would find this stressful even those who do not suffer anxiety and depression.If l were you l would spend more time staying at your new apartment so it is not such a shock to your system.Also move your belongings in so it feels more like your home.Keep in mind even when you get married you can spend time with your parents and stay over.Just take it one day at a time you will get used to the change.

Hi Katherine,

I literally made an account just so I could talk to somebody who feels the same way I do! I suffer from severe anxiety and my mum has always been the one who looks after me and understands. 

I am 23 and I moved out over the weekend with my boyfriend. It all happpened so quickly we were living at my mums house and on a whim found a perfect apartment, applied for it an all in a week we were moving. I didn't really get time to stop and think about it all. We moved in on Saturday only 20 minutes away from mums house. As soon as all the cleaning and organising was done and the apartment was set up perfectly I wasn't distracted from being so busy and I had an anxiety attack. All weekend I have been throwing up and crying trying to calm myself down. I feel like I am trapped and ended up having to come home to my mums last night and left my boyfriend to stay in the apartment on his own. Luckily he is really good and understanding with my anxiety. I feel so embarrassed and pathetic I am 23 years old and can't even move out of home 😩 I can't just keep running home eventually I was going to have to move out but it's so hard when your own room and bed and familiar surroundings are what make you feel better and they are all gone. I have never felt so lost so you are not the only one!
