I’ve live in Florida and with my parents my whole life. Florida it’s been really hard for us to set up a life there. We both have disabilities that make it so we can’t drive at this time. Nashville is a city we love with a good transit system and my partner got offered a job there! 

At first I was so excited cause we both love Nashville. But then I realized I’m 27 and have been so close and reliant on my parents. If I hadn’t became disabled early in adulthood I don’t think this would’ve been a issue. My partner and I lived in a section of there house until we could get our own place but we’ve tried and it’s extremely difficult in the area we live in, plus there’s no jobs besides retail really.

We have a few possible apartments lined up already but as reality settles in I find myself having many anxiety attacks. I’m scared to be alone during the day while my partner works, I will miss my family dog, I will miss having someone I can walk a few feet and talk to for a bit.

Living with my parents and my partner though has started to become hard. Fights insue on occasion and it’s stressful for me. I just keep going back and forth from happy to so anxious. 

Has anyone with anxiety moved away from home? It’s only a 2 hour plane ride and I know I’ll see them sometimes but it’s so hard for me.
