Leaving my safe space

Today I’m moving out of my moms house into my own spot. Very emotional and lots of buried emotions are coming out. I’m only moving a city away and it feels like thousands of miles away to me. I’ve Been crying at work just need to hear some uplifting words if that’s okay. I know it’s time for me to leave now, I’m married and it’s the next step I’m having a hard time moving on.. I’m going to miss my little sister a lot too.

If you have just got married congratulations you are at the beginning of your new life together, all will work out given time. We all go through the same sort of thing it is important, possibly to make arrangements once a week or so too contact your Mam etc to keep in touch. Phone in the evening the calls should be cheaper than during the day. You phone one Friday and your Mother the next. That may help

Skylane2000, it's okay to feel emotions when making changes in your life.

It's a part of the Life Cycle for children to get their wings and make their own

"safe space". I wish you well in this next step. It will all work out for you.

Give yourself some time. :) xx

It just takes time. The more your new home becomes your home the more you will start enjoying the process. You now have two homes filled with people who care for you. Its unsettling at first but it does get easier, as you realise your new home will be built around what you and your partners like and dislike, your interests and hobbies.

Also, just because you've moved out doesn't mean that you cannot visit or separate your time between both of your homes until you settle. It can be just as strange for the people you lived with or are planning on living with. It will allow you and everyone time to adjust. Talk to them, im sure they will support you.

Change is so hard especially if you are happy where you are. It’s scary to start a new adventure but that is what it is! I’m thinking that after a couple of weeks some of the strangeness of the new place will go away and you will relax and begin to discover some new strengths you didn’t know you had! That is what happened to me when I moved out of my moms house! ❤️

I know it's difficult. My safe space is my refuge. The more stressed I become, the more I long for my safe space. It will take work but you can find little ways to make this need place a safe place. Find a spot in your new home you can retreat to and put things in it that help you too feel calm. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We are here for you.
