Well I posted a thread a bit like this in anxiety forum but thought it was actually more suited for here.
I'm 25 and last weekend my nine year old son and I moved out from my Mums house. I have lived alone before but it was only a 5/10 min walk from my Mums house and the other place I lived in I lived with a boyfriend.
My new flat I live in is only a half hour bus ride from my Mums and I still see her a few times a week.
But since I have moved out I have felt so low and anxious and depressed. I don't understand why because I was looking forward to moving and having my own place again so much.
I don't even want to be in my new flat. If I'm there by myself I have to go out because other wise I just sit there and cry. When I'm in the flat I feel panicked and trapped.
There's just such a bad feeling associated with me being in the flat but I don't know why.
I also keep thinking about death. I keep worrying about people dying and keep wondering how long my Mum will live for. She's only 55 but I still can't help thinking it and it is torturing me.
I feel like the future is so bleak and I feel like I will never get better :-(
I really want to go and live with my Mum again even though I know that's not practical because I'm an adult and I need to stand on my own two feet and my Mum needs her house to be hers too because she enjoys time to herself.
I really can't see myself ever feeling better. I've had a few thoughts about harming myself and they scare me because then I think I do want to be here and I would never want to leave my son or the rest of my family behind. These thoughts really scare me because then I think what if I go mad and do something to myself.
I have been diagnosed with ocd, depression and anxiety and I went back on to citalopram on friday so hopefully they will help soon. I also have cbt and I saw my therapist yesterday and she did help me understand why I'm feeling the way I am but I just want to feel better.
I think it's the change I can't handle and also the fact that I know I won't live in my Mums house again and it all feels so final. Every thing has changed :-(
Sorry to babble on but could really do with some support xx
