Moving back in with my mom and brother

[sunflowers4life]

I will preface this by saying I love my mom dearly. I moved out at 22. Changed jobs last year and it was not an adequate amount of shifts year-round. That has led to me having to make the decision to move back in with my mom at 25. I am embarrassed and it's making me feel worse on top of other things. I can feel myself starting to spiral a bit, and I have overthought to the point of not being able to complete tasks.

I guess what I'm wondering is how to instill more positive thoughts into my mindset so I can start moving forward. I am on anxiety meds.

" I am embarrassed and it's making me feel worse on top of other things."

Please don't.

There are numerous articles out there that since the pandemic started, that more people are moving back home.

It's much more common than you think.

At the least you have experience living on your own. You know what it takes and that’s good to have.

That's what families are for, we come, we go. No need to be embarrassed. It's an opportunity to spend quality time with your Mum (in England we call moms mums btw). When her time comes, be it ever so many years hence, you'll be glad you did. When you're ready move on, until then enjoy your Mum's cooking!
