I'm 36 and the thought makes me teary eyed right now. I will be moving out with my long time gf to a unit 1-2hrs away from home to be near our offices. We'll move in 2 weeks and I still feel so sad, crying inside but a little bit excited. Sadness is overtaking my excitement at the moment. Add to the fact that I can never or we can never stay in our parents house forever because we aren't rich and can't support them forever. All 36 years of my life I've been here and will go out in a matter of weeks.

Hey there! Felt like reaching out; I’m 25 and just moved out of my family’s house for the first time… in a city 6 hours away from my old home. Today’s my first day. I was absolutely flooded with anxiety the moment I stepped through the door and realized how much more difficult it would be for me mentally. One of the biggest things that really helped me was having people supporting me / helping me with the move, massive difference obviously; another that helped eased the anxiety was starting to get my stuff settled in (bed, paintings / photos, kitchen stuff, etc.). It really helps offload the anxiety bit by bit. Hope this helped!

Lmao i just did the crying and imma grown ass 22 year old man. Its the attachment to my parents and siblings even though my relationship with my parents was toxic they still are my parents. This shit is crazy

KNOBL I feel you ! I haven’t moved out yet. And I wrote that comment a year ago. I feel I’ll break into thousands pieces if I do. But one day we will both move out. I believe in you 🙏🏼😁

@@rejham2304 I'm 20 and I moved out five days ago. I woke up the first three days with pretty bad anxiety, but on the fourth day, I barely had any anxiety, and having just woken up on the fifth day, I only had a little bit of anxiety. But I keep reminding myself why I moved out. I need to grow up, and evolve myself. I know deep down that I can't stay in my boy room for the rest of my life. How would that look like when I'm 30? I would have no skills in life, and I would be a massive train wreck of a person then. And I also remind myself that while I have moved out (about 10-15 min car drive from old home), it's not like I won't ever see my parents again. My mom lives in the city, and my dad a couple of kilometers away with his new partner, and so I know that I can go there anytime I want. But I try to stay strong, and remind myself that this is for the best. I really think you should take the leap forward. It will be hard at first, and you will have anxiety no matter what you do. But as you get settled in to your new home, as I feel I'm gradually doing, and as you have your family over to your new place, it makes it feel more homely, knowing they've been in your home, and perhaps helped you unpack, and that makes you feel safer. In the end, this is all for your own personal development. You need to face this challenge at some point in your life, and while I think you shouldn't move out when you're too young, say 17-18, but around the 20 mark is a good start, even if you're not completely mature, which I certainly am not, but it will help you grow as a person and make you strong. Sorry for rambling but it also felt good for me to get this off my chest.

Kejsarn av Portugallien I like your username. It sounds Norwegian or Sweden 😁 But wow you are so brave ! You should be so proud of yourself. I’m very happy for you. I am 31 lol. Still living at home. At the moment I’m looking for a place. I found a place a few months ago but things unfortunately didn’t go as they should. I know I have to move out. I feel motivated and scared as shit (sorry for my language). Thank you very much for your motivating reply! Means a lot to me. And I wish you all the best 🙏🏼💜

Omg me too.

Have you moved out and are you doing ok?

Have you just moved out?

I hope you have gotten settled and are enjoying the space.

How you doing now

@@handsomesquidward5160 better, thank you

I am 32 and moving out. I think what makes it harder for me is that I've lived with them for way longer than most people (most move out in their early 20s or mid 20s at the latest). We are too close now. If that makes sense at all.

@@SoraLover963 hey same feeling Im ready to move once i have my degree but feel that I took so long and its effected my progress. Good luck and vibes!

Just do it

I'm 36 😹 tbh.... Wish I'd watched this mths ago. I put an offer on a condo.... And I need to decide in 2 days. Fml

Take it slow, save some money, make a close friend or get a pet, try renting out a hotel room for a day or two and stay alone so you get the feel, then just do it

Omg I’m so scared to move out for uni, I’m 21 now but I’ll be 22 in two months lol my younger brother moved out at 18

Stay strong. You made the right decision. It will work out at the end.

Sounds very scary 😟. Hope you are doing well

I’m 39 years old going on 40

How do you feel now? I am in the same situation right now and people keep telling me that it needs time and that most of the people are crying and things like that in the first weeks... I wanted to keep on since it had been my wish to move out, but since I am here I just want to go back and keep getting anxious and start crying

@@iloveyeshua8096 I definitely feel a lot better now, and am happy with the decision that was made. Signed another year lease to be where I’m at again. Definitely make the place your own if you haven’t yet, put things up on the walls, decorate in things that make you happy. I was putting off doing that in the beginning and once I started I feel like it started easing some. Talk to those you can trust and be open with, support from friends or close coworkers can really be helpful as well. I ended up getting a cat at the end of the first month I was here. She helped A LOT. I was use to having pets at my family’s so I think coming home to an empty space was also negatively effecting me. She was giving me a reason to come home to my place every night. She’d run up and greet me every time I came home, still does🥺 I’m sorry you’re going through it, it’s mentally and physically draining. I felt like I was mourning the loss of a chapter in my life if that makes sense? Adjusting to a new norm can be really hard, but It will be okay, things do get better🤍 I hope this helps in some way, if even a little.

You’re ready. It’s just normal

Hi, I probably have to move out soon because of university and I am so overwhelmed. Are you over this anxiety by now? Thanks in advance

Me too, try meditating about it when you’re feeling anxious. That helps me

How is it going 2 full years later

At least u have a bf...im single foreverrr and with my social anxiety?! There isnt even an option for me to be with someone.also im gay.and moving with someone u know is easier rather than moving alone.

@@whynot7802 I have anxiety, autism, and a bunch of other problems plus I'm asexual. If I can find love then I'm sure you can too ❤

@@bezelleblanc2580 how did it go!!! Me n bf are also 7 years and I need to move out!

Well, you've probably visited your grandpa many times, so you most likely have memories there, no? And you will be with your family. Everything comes to an end at some point. It will be hard, but you will get through it.

I’m so sorry for your loss lovely xxx

I'm moving out soon and I'm so nervous and scared cause I don't know how I'll cope. I also normally feel so anxious and kinda depressed when the sun sets and I fear that I'm going to struggle a lot with this situation. How did you get used to it?

That makes me scared to move out of my parents house 🏡 at age 39 going on 40

That impressive. All I know it will be worth it in the end to be away from toxic parents and family

i have a good feeling, the things is you can only try your best lots of love

Emily Rose Thanks love! Hope I transition to life as an independent woman 😂 Glad you’re settling well x

Hafsah Kumbay how are you fairing so far?

thanks, thats really great to hear

How are you doing now ?

@@brittanyjones8488 aww omg it’s so nice of you to reply. I’m come such a long way since that comment. Before I could barely leave the house from panic attacks and I would have tons of panic attacks I was in a bad place and super scared all the time. Now I can leave the house and only get a bit anxious, I rarely have panic attacks now. I was able to go on a trip that involved 6 hours of driving when before I could barely go across town. I’m in a much better place and I’m happier now

i really hope you have managed to progress to being ok in your own place..it can be horrifying..my anxiety and depression is ramping up bcos i may have to move flat..i love this place and im catastrophising all the time

all you can do is give it a try! i really think you can do it! lots of peace

):

awwwww how sweet :)!!! I hope youre doing well

Thank you Emily :) ...taking each day as it comes at the moment! Just watched your next video, and it seems that this next step you took (moving out etc), really agrees with you :)

ill need to keep it tidy for more than five minutes hahaha

Emily Rose I feel you girl, lol.

Catlain Marie YES what a cracking idea, a flat tour would be great xx

thanks alison!!!

Hi While i cant diagnose anything it does sounds like it might be anxiety! I understand what you mean about getting worried around people you know, its very normal and sounds like it could be social anxiety! have a google search theres lots out there. I will make a video soon about social anxiety! You are brave and im sorry youre finding it hard at the moment! lots of peace and love

Hey Derpy! I'm feeling the same. Please let me know how you made it work.

@@ananyamandal4252 Hey. After 4 years I can say that i have still same kind of worries. Still the same me. About the working place at that time, I quitted not long after a panic attack at work. But now I found a great job, where i don’t have to talk to so many people. I am doing good, accepting that thats just the way I am.. And i don’t feel the need to fit in anymore…I have still days or weeks where i am depressed but i think they will be almost completely gone in the near future, when i complete school, become independent and i am closer to accomplishing my life goals. Btw I am now 25 and working on a master degree and working an engineering job. My mother always says, that life is hard but you have to fight. I hope you are doing ok.

@@derpyhooves5603 thanks for sharing. I'm doing fine but sometimes I have some panic attacks which I have to deal by myself. I'm sure I will survive this. I'm 21 and working from last 3 years. I used to be outgoing I don't know how it changed. I'm proud to hear your story. Keep going🌼

oh you!!!

thanks :) xxx

🤗 xx

nice to see you lizzie!
