Hi Chloe
Congratulations on your new house! It sounds exciting but of course, terrifying as well. I'm sorry you had to go through those emotions. I faced similar situations about 4 times now. I know how daunting it could feel to move away from loved ones. When I first moved out of my parent's house, I was only 18. I felt excited and extremely anxious at first, then reality settled in a few days later. The thought of my family being an 8 hours flight away is so frustrating and I found out that there's not much to do than to carry on. I broke down several times like a baby and went through some of the most difficult moments of my life but crying makes me feel a lot better. I hope you are able to feel and let those emotions out too. Its okay to feel angry, frustrated, anxious, sad, and lonely but please pick up the pieces afterwards and be kind to yourself. Take as much time as you need to feel better. For me, making a phone call seems to make things slightly better. One thing that helps me make this home as "home" is to personalise the space around me with pictures of my loved ones.
Anyways, I hope you're doing well now Chloe
Daisy
