Hello fellow Redditors, 

I (23F with GAD and OCD) i’m going to be moving out of my family home soon. I lived by myself for four years while I was in university but for some reason that seems like a very different experience than moving out permanently. 

I was wondering if you guys would be willing to share your stories with me and some tips on what helped you ease some of the anxiety before, during, and after the move. 

Also, was it helpful having a roommate for social support purposes? I need to decide on whether I’m moving alone or not and am struggling to decide.
