Moving out... - November 23rd 2011, 04:30 PM

This might as well go here...

This summer I returned home after being away for a year. Having been at uni before that this is now the longest I've spent at home with my parents. I've only been working for a month and have no money at all. Not only does it take me 1.5hours to get to work and 2 hours to get back, train tickets are costing me £250 a month. Working closer to home isn't really an option, the hospital I'm at is fantastic and pays considerably better than the ones closer to me. Moving out is the only sensible option. Especially as I'm really struggling being back in the same house with my parents.
But there is an issue with money. I can apply for staff accommodation which is meant to be a little cheaper, but with bills its still more than I can realistically afford. It would take awhile for the application to go through and a space to come available, which would give me a chance to save. Which just leaves the other issue for me to deal with. Me. I keep coming up with all these excuses as to why I shouldn't. I get all worked up and anxious about moving into a flat with 3 other people that I don't know. I've never been good with meeting new people and the idea scares me silly. If I had to find a house to rent with friends it would be fine, but it not like I can force them to move just because I'm a pussy about meeting new people. I'm also worried about becoming isolated. I found it hard enough when everyone is on my doorstep, but if I take myself away from that, will I just become some sort of social recluse? But then again maybe moving out will finally give me the motivation I've been lacking since coming home.

Blah, sorry, just needed to have this debate somewhere other than my head. I should just man out and move out though, right?

If I were you I would move out. Don't be scared about any of those things its normal to be nervous about meeting new people, but you have to get over that fear sooner or later. And who knows? Maybe you'll find a great group of friends who you can trust and have a good time with them. Also, if your living arrangements are hard right now (parents, money, transportation) its only sensible to move closer to work and away from the problem. PM me if you wanna talk! Stay strong!


When someone apologizes enough times for something they'll never stop doing I think its fearless to stop believing them. I think its fearless to say "Your NOT sorry" and walk away.
I have died everyday waiting for you, darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more <3

Blah...I know I should move out. I know that ultimately is what I want to do. But I am happier driving to the other side of the world that moving in with 3 strangers. And I mean that quite literally. Even doing a tour in Afghanistan seems less daunting than moving 20miles up the road. But 3 strangers still seems to be more appealing than staying here. How I ever kid myself that moving back home would be fine I have no idea. But for now at least I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it. No point rushing into anything until the new year now I guess.

But still, just blahblahshitbollocksblah...

If it is financially feasible and will take some stress off of you, I would have too agree with the other two Illinoisans ( ) and say that it'd be a good idea to move out.

If it is not financially feasible right now, or won't relieve stress, don't do it yet.

There will, however, come a time where you will need to move out. It's a part of growing up. You may become best friends with your new roommates.


"Ignore the ramblings of the ignorant, and step on or over their crumpled bodies as you make your way to the top of the mountain. Eat upon their flesh for fuel, and, through your determination and will, banish them to obscurity and a life of complacency and self righteousness that is the hell in which they live"
