I'm currently homeless and staying in a hostel is so hard I always think I have more time before I start not being able to cope or the changes are too different or nothing feeling right but it's hitting me like a train not being comfortable at all my skin and body hurting from being uncomfortable does anyone have ways for you to help getting that safe feeling
Aw an animal crossing sounds so cute
Aw I’m so glad some of these ideas were useful and I really hope they bring you a bit of comfort, you’re doing great and well done xxxx
Ill get a animal crossing one I love that the now !!
These all sound amazing I'm definitely going to invest in these your so nice thank you I could get some nice plants I never even thought how more comfy that will make me feel I hope your doing good now !!
A nice furry covered hot water bottle to snuggle in your bed with, they have nice animal or character ones? Sorry I appreciate all these things cost money
Do you like looking after things? Maybe a plant you have to nurture? Water everyday to bring a bit of nature/ life to your room? Something low maintenance like aloe Vera that can thrive?
I had shared rest of facilities and I hated having to use the communal kitchen, are you able to eat in your room? Do you have something to watch maybe while you eat?
Just a plug in one
Yes I understand I only had one room at one place, do you like calming lights at all? Maybe a sensory light or salt lamp to make the room more relaxing? Again apologies if not suitable for you, I will keep thinking
Thank you for your comment I put the dresser across my door as it's only rooms and everything else is shared spaces that I can't yous even if I'm so hungry I'm not using it trying to stay out all day so I got a cosy blanket and going to try get some nice smelling things I never thought of that xx
Hi, historically I’ve been in that situation twice so I can emphasis the additional struggle you may be feeling with the change etc, I know for the entirety of my experiences I kept counting the doors and windows over & over (definitely not advising that just saying I struggled with uncertainty), firstly congratulations on coping the best you can, you certainly deserve that, if possible are you able to get a comfy duvet cover/ blanket to decorate your bed with and maybe make it everyday to feel some order? Maybe nice soft fabrics? I love smells so I put nice plug in I liked. Apologies if this is not in anyway helpful or comforting to you, I know everyone is different, I will think of more xxx
