I bought a house with my fiance 9 months ago. I have managed to visit it 5 times now. It is only 3 miles from my parents house where I am currently living. I was housebound for the majority of the past decade. I started driving again a few months ago just in my parents neighborhood. I drove myself to my new house on Saturday and attempted to spend the entire weekend with my fiance but I only lasted 1 night. I left early Sunday morning completely exhausted. I tried to nap on Saturday but I wasn't comfortable enough to stay asleep. When I finally fell asleep Saturday night I was awake again in 1/2 hour. I got up at 5:30am on Sunday and returned to my parents house.
How long do you think it will take for me to feel at home there? I had scary thoughts and near panic a few times. I also had moments of feeling almost at home. I think alot of what I felt was due to exhaustion because of all the work I did there on Saturday. I mowed the lawn which strangely enough was the time I felt most serene. Sometimes I fell very anxious when I mow the lawn.
