I’ve recently moved into my own place after separating and I didn’t expect the quiet to feel so loud. I thought I’d enjoy the space and having things my way, but it’s been harder than I imagined.
Evenings feel especially strange. I used to have someone to chat to about the day or make small decisions with, and now I catch myself not knowing what to do with myself. Friends have been supportive, but once the door closes it hits me that it’s just me here.
If anyone else has been through this stage, how did you start feeling more settled? Did anything help you get used to living alone without it feeling so heavy?
Would really appreciate hearing how others adjusted.
