Home with Anxiety

Lots of people look at home in different ways. Although I look at home with anxiety, it’s my favorite place to be. My meaning of home is a safe place where I can play and talk with my family and friends. I worry the least when I’m at home. I have my family to reassure me that everything is fine. Home is a place where I can spill all my thoughts and all my feelings. Home to me is the best place, the safe place. When I'm not at home I’m thinking about my family and always worrying and nervus. I never want to go somewhere unless a person from my family is coming. I don’t feel afraid when i’m with my family. If no one can come then I will pretend that where I am is my home. As much as I worry I love home. In 2018 I moved from Hamilton to Moorefield. It was the first time I moved. For a person with anxiety moving is a lot to take in and I was not ready. On the day I moved I was trying with all my might to make the new house feel like home. I was having a lot of trouble putting all my things in my room and making as close as I can to my old room. Now I have been in my new house for two years and it still sometimes doesn't feel like home. I am trying to pass the times when I feel like I’m not at home. And for about a year now I feel like I'm at home. I’m so glad that I could talk about my meaning of home, when I’m not home and why home doesn’t feel like home.
