Moving into our new flat has been an adventure, and as I predicted, I have started to feel incredibly anxious. Having built this moment up for months and months (over a year depending how you count it), the reality of unpacking all the boxes, building the furniture, and regaining our independence is proving really daunting. Yesterday, my ear did a really strange thing where it started hissing and roaring incredibly loudly. I have tinnitus and I often get spontaneous ringing but this was different and it really, really freaked me out. My health anxiety is bad at the best of times, but this was terrifying and now I am constantly scared it will happen again. It is my birthday on Sunday. Twenty five. I hope this year will be positive and filled with optimism. I don't want another year tarred with anxiety and uncertainty. On a positive note, being able to cuddle my cat whenever I want is pretty much the best thing ever.
