Wherever I lay my cat...

Ok so I've moved. I haven't moved far and there's still an amount of stuff kicking about in the old place that I don't want to think about but most of what I own is here.

I think I'm going to miss having my own space. For all that my new flatmate is lovely I think I'm going to find my lifestyle noticeably shifted and I may have to negotiate some things but that's ok. I'm not sure why I spent the latter part of the afternoon and evening trying not to burst into tears. I'm making positive life changes, I had help from the ever obliging 10B and a lovely big new bedroom. I even had a spectacularly good curry for dinner prepared by my flatmate. For some reason though I'm miserable and I can't for the life of me work out why which is almost worse than being mopey in the first place.

Stupid hormones.

Honey, it could be hormonal - sometimes these things just happen...

It could be a control thing, too ... you don't want to feel so helpless but it appears to me you are acting realistically to needs in putting together this new housing situation. If you're really just feeling sorry for yourself, then you do need to stop indulging it. But it sounds more like a combination of the hormones and the difficulty of just letting go of things you cannot control.

or displacement. You have moved from somewhere you felt comfortable and safe to somewhere you don't know. I have been known to suffer from this after just moving desks at work! no really!

Transition is hard. Moving house is particularly hard because it disrupts that fundamental sense of home that we all need. FWIW, I've been experiencing exactly that feeling, and still am to some extent. It is getting better as I gradually get my stuff sorted out. Be kind to yourself and allow time to settle in.
