Hi there Squiggles!
Sorry for the late introduction, I haven't been able to get on RYL for a while and have just returned, I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner.
I hope you are ok. I understand completely how you feel. I'm 25 and have recently moved back home and it's such a strange situation.
It's also very hard and (hopes this will give you a giggle!) the first thing I did when I got back was paint the walls in my room bright as I could and hang pictures on the wall. I most definitely share you opinions on that. I frequently plan how I'm going to decorate my own place when I can afford it. I even go as far as having chickens in the back yard!!!!
I think having a dream about your future is a brilliantly positive thing. Hope is something to hang onto with both hands and the ambition to make those dreams reality, that's what life is all about really isn't it!
I also know what you mean about work making you feel triggered. I love, well, loved, my job dearly. It meant everything to me, but for one reason and another, it was also one of the most painful things in my life. It's one of those catch 22 situations I think!!
I do know how hard it is though, and am always around if you want to discuss anything. It's tough feeling on your own, but with this great network of people around, trust me, you never will be.
Anyway, sorry, look at me rambling on!! Just wanted to say hi and welcome and am ALWAYS here to listen and my shoulders are of the broad variety - you can shout, scream, cry, vent, talk, ask for a hug - I'll listen to anything you have to say and I'll always try to help.
PM me anytime.
Lou
