Moving my safe space …. I’m terrified.

[DeFunkCat]

I’m getting the keys for my new house today. The house is beautiful, the area is lovely. I am privileged. Im fortunate to have safe housing. I’m so excited and terrified. I get out and way from the house maybe three times per week. Moving my safe space feels like being on a precipice. Mr carer and support team are assisting me making careful transition plans. Sometimes I just break down and weep at the prospect. I try just to think of just the next step. The whole thing is risky.

Change is scary. Especially changing home/safe place.

Deep breaths.

Play music.

Big changes are always scary. But it looks like you've got everything on your side.

Congrats on getting a new house! That was the most exciting thing I ever did in my life (once the hell of the buying process was over).

Look at it as an adventure - something exciting. I was homeless for 12 years and getting my own home was one hell of a trip. For the first couple of years I struggled with the feeling of being trapped inside a box, I kept all my doors propped wide open so I could walk in and out with ease. A couple of my neighbours thought it also meant they could wander in and out as they please too, but I soon disabused them of that notion.

I'm really happy with where I live now though, been here for 5 years. Lovely neighbourhood.

Oh boy, just deep breathing , count to 10, and exhale thru mouth. Reassure yourself with a talk about you will accomplish this, and it may be very positive.

Think of it optimistically in the simplest of ways. -That you are moving forward. Well done!

Absolutely, strategically moving my music studio is planned. Not while i’m playing, but almost.
