Moved house - think I’m having a nervous breakdown

I’m not sure where to write this or ask for help. We’ve just moved, it’s a lovely house and I’m glad to be out of rented. It’s further out of town than I wanted and very quiet but otherwise everything you could ever want in a house. It cost an absolute bomb and it the culmination of years of DH’s hard work and success - he’s made up.

I can’t tell him or anyone how much I hate this place. I had no idea I would feel like this until we got through the door yesterday. It’s a mile from the kids school which is the same as before but an A road so not walkable like before. there are no neighbours although we do know some people on the other side on the wood and it’s so quiet I feel like I am being entombed here.

I really don’t want to live here. I’m supposed to be working today but can’t focus at all. I’m just hiding to have a cry the whole and desperate to talk to someone. All my friends feel like a million miles away and obviously couldn’t come round in tier 3 anyway. I can’t tell anyone about this as it’s a amazing house that so many people have said how lucky we are etc.

I know some people have real problems but my brain has gone into overdrive and I’m starting to think really dark thoughts about leaving and running and running. I don’t want this for my life

There is no way we can sell it either. Not for two years at least. I don’t even know why I’m writing this other than I have to say it out loud somewhere.

OP, give it time. I actually posted here when I moved, and instantly regretted it, last year. I was devastated. We moved from a beautiful farm house to an inner city large victorian terraced. When we first went into lockdown, I was incredibly depressed and spent weeks continually pining for my old house. We all did. It's been over a year now and we have spent the last 6 months or so doing work to our home (thanks lockdown) and I'm starting to fall in love with it a little. My DD has friends in the street, we have lots of community events etc. The city centre location does have its draw backs but we're learning to live with and love it. The house you're now in sounds a little like our old one. It was a 'dream' house. We moved out as the mortgage and running costs were extortionate. Give yourself time. Moving is stressful anyway!

As it was almost 2 years ago I think OP probably feels quite a bit of time has passed...
