Moving anxiety

Hi. This is my first post here - I am a first time buyer and myself and my partner have just moved into a house about thirty five mins from home.
We lived with my parents for three years and when We were there we saved for our deposit.
We moved in on 28th may 2021 which at the time of writing this was less than a week ago. I felt fine for about 3 days until suddenly my heart sunk and I burst into tears - I couldn’t believe that I had done this. Moved half hour from home. I was so anxious I had panic attack after panick attack and even made myself sick. I’ve been crying for three days straight I just want to go home. I feel like my blood gets hot and I want to be sick at the thought of staying here.. I am so lost as my partner loves it and I worry this will hurt him, he’s been supportive but I can see that my constant sobbing is affecting him..
Has anyone else been through this? I am in tears even thinking about staying here but now that we have a help to buy mortgage I feel so trapped.
Please can anyone help? I’m not sure what to do ... Sad

You need some time to get used to your new surroundings and to establish yourself there.

Start exploring the area, join local FB groups too see what is going on around you.

It will get better and you are only 35 minutes away from friends and family, just remember that.

It will get easier x

I moved out of my home area at the start of the pandemic and felt much the same as you although I do struggle with change in general!

I'm much more settled now, I volunteer locally and joined the gym to get myself familiar with the area and meet new people.

My friends are now 1.5 hours away and my parents, 3 hours away but I make the effort to go and see them and spend time with them, especially when I am starting to feel a bit cut off.

Good luck Smile
