Hi All
Some you might recall that I've been looking for somewhere cheaper to move to for some time. Well I've finally seen somewhere I like. It's just down the road from where I live now - a bit closer to town which is not necessarily a good thing for me as I like peace and quiet - but it is back from the road and seems fairly quiet.
I have been to see it twice. It is clean and modern. The managing agent seems friendly and it seems well managed. It has parking and it's quite a lot cheaper than here BUT it's a studio flat so it means going back to living alone again whereas I've had someone staying with me since before I went into hospital.
The decision to move is inevitable really due to financial reasons and I've been looking for somewhere like this for well over a year and this arrangement of someone staying with me was only ever meant to be a temporary arrangement. However, it has suited us both for different reasons and I feel kind of nervous about coping alone again after so long.
I have been struggling with my eating disorder issues recently and although at present I am physically at a healthy weight, I have other physical problems and I am at a bit of a crossroads with my eating disorder and I am worried that the balance could tip either way. I'm a bit nervous about which way it might go :unsure:
This is such a big decision and the timing isn't perfect but the accommodation I've found is almost ideal and doesn't come available very often in this area and I cannot really afford to turn it down It is just a major life change for me.
But the real complication is that I have to make a decision by tomorrow morning and although I am pretty sure I have to go for it and I did used to cope living alone I still have some doubts :shrug:
