Moving in together...feeling anxious.

Just that really and wanting to know if it's normal.
I've been on my own for a while (over 5 yrs) so used to my own space and not having someone there 24/7.
My partner and I have been together 12ish months and have been talking about moving in together in the summer when both our rental contracts end. We will be moving to a property in another nearby city as it is easier for both of us work-wise so better as it will be a new mutual place and not him moving into mine or vice versa. But I feel anxious already at the thought of not having my space just solely my own but I am also excited of the prospect of us moving to another stage of our relationship.
For those of you already living with your partner, how do you find time for yourself without feeling smothered and in each other's pockets? Also, is this normal?
I did live with my ex boyfriend a number of years ago, but I've completely forgotten what it's like to share your home with someone else 24/7.

It’s completely normal to feel anxious. I have the house to myself when my DH goes to the office, does sports, meets friend etc so I get enough alone time. Hopefully you’ll get the same.
