Single parent moving out of parents house- scared

[Evielucy2019]

Hi

I am 23 and a single parent to a 2 year old DD. We’ve lived with my parents since she was born but were moving into a private rented house shortly just the two of us.

I know it’s the right time to do it and needs to be done as I’m sharing a room with her at my parents still but I can’t shake the anxiety around it, it’s only a 15 minute drive from my parents and I do have a car, I’m especially going to be scared at night time, I have bad anxiety and irrational scary thoughts is part of this, has any one got any tips or kind words

Thank you

Deal with it practically, ensure all windows lock etc. Put up a wind chime near doors even so you know if someone enters. Decide routines such as unplugging electrics in eve or double checking oven is off. Go and check on child temp each evening when you go to bed by giving their forehead a goodnight kiss etc.
It will do you both the world of good to have your own home, good luck.

I like to listen to the radio at night, not music, so I can’t listen out for every little noise.
From a practical point of view. You are not far from your parents should you need them fast in an emergency, I’m sure you will have lovely neighbours who will look out for you.
Things like a spy hole on from door or camera doorbell.
You do get used to it although I’m still not keen and will bring one of the dogs in the house in I’m alone at night.
