Hi @Creativeboy23 , thank you so much for making this post. How are you feeling this afternoon?

From what you have described, it sounds like you are going through a really significant transition period in your life right now, preparing to move out of your home. And it is so valid that - regardless of a person's age or whether or not they are an 'adult' - making big life-decisions about housing can feel really overwhelming, and it's a lot to have to navigate on your own.

I have been thinking I do not have the space to take the time process my emotions. I feel pressured to immediately think about other perspectives because I have internalised the message from the crisis worker that I should think about my feelings and others feelings equally. It is like I am prioritising others’ feelings.

I hear you, @Creativeboy23 , and it sounds like a lot of pressure to be processing everything right now, including balancing your feelings as well as other people's. It sounds really hard for your support worker to have told you that your thinking in a certain situation was 'incorrect', and I hear just how dismissed it made you feel, because you would have rather they spent time trying to understand your perspective and to really listen. That makes sense. It is totally valid that you feel daunted right now, and that a part of you wanted to procrastinate the process of leaving your home. It sounds like it might be feeling tough to say goodbye?

We're all here for you to listen without judgement. I wonder whether you have left your home now? And if so, what has that left like?

In an ideal world, what would you like to happen next?

Thank you again so much for your post

@Creativeboy23 , ah I see! Thank you for clarifying, and that makes total sense. How is it feeling to recognise that you're growing into more of an independent person? What has been your favourite thing about feeling more independent lately?

There is a variety of different things to consider and there can be pressure to select a property because it can feel like you are being too selective, or dismissing a house due to the daunting nature of transitioning.

This is very valid, @Creativeboy23 , and I can hear just how much care you are wanting to put into this decision. It is okay for you to not have all the answers right now. I wonder if you have been able to speak with anyone else for support around these decisions if you wished to, such as your parents for example?

No matter what decisions you make, we're all here to support you without judgement. You deserve a next home that makes you feel comfortable and happy
