I have tried to look at the positives. Less costly - living with my parents as a temporary thing til I get back on my feet, means I can save a lot. My commute to work is now 5 minutes not 75 minutes, so my car costs have plummeted. My parents are mortgage free, but I'm paying them some rent for utilities and food. Shorter commute means I have more time to go to the gym and see my sister more often who is only 15mins away, and she comes to see us too during the week.
I'm trying to flip things when I feel down. It's hard though - sometimes I let myself feel down as it's not good to bottle it up (that was one of my problems) but then I turn it around.
The day will come when I can get my own nice place, just for me. I can turn it into exactly how I want a house (I've never lived alone before) so I'm excited by that.
