Mental Health and Moving

Moving to a new space is always portrayed as a fresh start or a chance to grow and change.

When I was growing up I always wanted to move out from my parents’ household and live alone just to have independence, freedom, and peace of mind in my own space.

A time came when I joined university and I was forced to move from Nakuru to Nairobi and have a fresh start.

The thought of having a fresh start in a new city, making new friends, and exploring new places excited me. It was a dream come true!

However, As the days moved closer to the relocation day I was filled with the adrenaline rush of packing, unpacking, and saying goodbye to those I loved most made me want to look back and stay.

Nevertheless, I had to hold my head high and look at the positives that relocating and starting a new life would give me a chance to grow personally.

The anxiety of leaving familiar surroundings you have lived in for so many years could lead to feelings of homesickness and isolation.

Moreso, Moving can also trigger moving depression which manifests sadness and loneliness.

Shifters and Movers will guide you in overcoming moving depression.

It is not always about shifting houses but also adapting emotionally, mentally, and socially.

Here are some of the tips to consider when adapting a new home;

1. Be Gentle with Yourself

Adapting to a new house does not happen overnight but the plan of transforming a new space to a home takes time. It is okay to feel out of place on the first day, weeks, or months till you are comfortable.

4. Embrace Change
