Hi! I’m 27 and I still live at home. I have constant crippling anxiety since I’m a teenager which makes me fear pretty much everything. I feel like I would like to move out of my parents but I’m so scared it gives me panic attacks just to think about it. I’m scared something might happen to them, to miss my room, to miss my animals, etc. I know it might sound crazy but it’s my safe space and I spent all my life there. I wish I could stay there forever but I know that’s not how it works. I thought about moving out gradually like renting an apartment and spending Monday to Friday there (for University) and going back home on the weekends to visit my family. Maybe after a while I would realize that I can be comfy living on my own?

Any tips for me? Please don’t say anything rude to me, it’s already really hard and painful for me to experience this.
