moving out and seeking advice!
hi!! i 23f finally moved out of my parents home and into an apartment in a new city with my partner. i did my undergrad and a one year masters program in my home state, living at home the last two years and of course visiting probably at least once a month. i moved into a city thats probably around 3 hours away, and have been to this city growing up as it was the closest one. i moved last week, and also started my new job in mental health this week. last week was kinda a honeymoon period of moving in, exploring, shopping. this week feels much more daunting. even though this first week is just trainings for me, it kinda dawned on me that i really don’t live at home anymore, and i have a job and have to be responsible in all the way i thought i was but never really had to fully be because i lived at home. for reference, the farthest i had ever gone from home was when i studied abroad 3 years ago, which was an amazing experience that i miss so much and taught me that i can really do anything, but im not feeling that confidence anymore. i feel like im feeling a little homesick, nervous about making friends because i don’t really know anyone in this city, nervous about being in a post-grad era of my life. ive been so anxious since yesterday. i was wondering what other people have experienced with moving out & how it got better for them or how they got used to it. thanks in advance!!
