Hi everyone, il try to keep this short as a lot has gone on so here I am posting on here for advice and help I just don’t know which way to turn my head is scrambled, I’m a single mum of one, no family or support my dad passed away 2023 he was all I had, I spoke to my family a little bit when my dad was alive but there was absolutely no support what so ever so I cut the contact to protect my mental health, it was making me ill. My daughter doesn’t see her dad or his side of the family she’s never met them, So it’s just us. I’m wanting to leave the area and start fresh it’s mentally draining me here, it’s not fair on my daughter having an unhappy mummy, I’m so worried of moving I think it’s the moving process of doing it alone with no help and very little money, I no it needs to happen but I can’t stop thinking how am I possibly going to do this alone, how am I going to afford removals and new flooring at the new propertie etc I have no idea how I will do it and afford it and I can’t get a plan in my head because I’m overthinking everything too much I just can’t think straight, it’s been a rough year it’s hit me hard everything that has happened. Can anyone give me any good tips or know of anything voluntary that can help me please? I’m sure there’s lots of people in the same position of being alone with no support, how did you do it? Thanks for reading

I've done it on my own but with the help of my DS16. Hired my own van for £80 and between us we did all the heavy lifting. It felt impossible at times, back breaking but we got through it. It's a case of when you have no choice, you find a way. As someone said, the adrenaline kicks in and you just manage.
Could you hire and drive a van?
I'm on a 'Nextdoor' Neighbour website. You could ask if anyone can help you. There's always people on there asking for favours or paying minimal and there's usually people willing to help or signposting to where you can get help. Worth a shot.
