So this is my first ever post. I'm at my wits end with feelings of anxiety. we sold our new build, all done house. it was too small, I didn't like the idea of staying there forever and so i piped up during the pandemic saying i wanted to move to the country. i wanted to make a change that was in time for the kids and secondary schools, embedding enough to make friends in primary etc. the timing i think we got right but the house isn't. We couldn't get into the exact area and so are in the next village. We were supposed to be moving to the village and had schools lined up in that village but then at the last minute the house fell through. the kids are in school in that village but we now live in the next village. we bought a make do house that cost less money, needs lots doing to it and well I'm worried and wracked with guilt that everyone hates it and its all my fault for not thinking it through properly. Plus the worry that we are in negative equity. I hate thinking that we should have stayed where we were. i really hate it. The kids have made fronds and well computers mean they can still play with old friends. we are only 25 min drive away from old friends and 7 minute drive from original village. We have a plan to do up the house, borrow more money (which is what we should have done all along) and get the house in the village we want but oh well hindsight is wonderful. i just wish i wasn't so anxious about things and could think things through properly with a level head. Anyone ever been on the same boat.
