"I just can't seem to settle into this apartment and think of it as home. I keep thinking of it as temporary. I need to get a grip on it all."
This apartment may very well be temporary. Maybe you'll get a promotion and decide to move into a bigger place. Or maybe you'll decide you want to move to another area. Or, or, or...one of the big upsides to this crisis is that the possibilities are endless. Settle in the way you have before in situations that turned out to be temporary (college, girlfriends etc). It is just stuff, you just need it to feel homey and reflect who you are...the future is open.
