moving out

[shye]

My parents are moving to a different city and I am going to move in an apartment with my sis and her b/f, and it has really been geting to me. I have been in this house for around 12 years and I know I am going to miss my house and moving away from my parents since this is going to be the first time living on my own and I am starting to feel really depressed for some reason. I have been trying to not think about it but sometimes I just want to cry I guess. How can I move on without getting depressed?

Hi Shye

It's okay to think about this new 'scary' experience! It's even okay to cry about it! Infact I encourage you to let the tears flow (it is very cleansing to what ails our soul/heart)

Fear can be a major factor in depression. It is okay to miss your parents and the place you were raised in. Just remember...you're only leaving the four walls, you're taking with you ALL the memories and you will have your parents with you in your heart and mind. Yes, having one in your heart and mind is different than physically being with them...this is just one step of many in this journey we call life.

Move on Shye with the excitement a new experience can bring...go thru the mourning process of leaving the place you were raised in and the parents who love you as you do them...then enjoy the journey

s to you,
From A Mom Who Knows,
Wendy

i can understand your fear of leaving.

i moved out of my mums while having depressoin and i was terrified of what mite happen

but life moves on. and i changes in weird and some times hurt full ways.

your young and you aint gonna be totally on your own.

so true what wanttobe says youll take you memorys with you

it will be scary that first night in a new house new bed. i never slept alll night. i phone a mate to come up and spend the night i just was so terrifed.

but i have lived there since june and i love it.

are your parents in driving distance?

a little fear can be good. dont get to worked up on it. its gods plan he had a plan for you and just allow him to guide you.

sending hugs

love lynn

Hi,
You'd be surprised what you can do when you have to.
You will have your sister, so at least there'll be some family there. How far away are they moving and why don't you go with them? Even so, you can keep in touch.
Like someone else has already said, New experiences can sometimes be a little scary. I know some are for me once in a while. Give it a chance, then see how you feel.
