I finally found a job so I am going to move out of my parents' house soon, in order to live in the large city where the job is located with my gf. I should be happy about finally becoming independent and being able to see her every day, however I only feel dread about the transition, the lack of free time for my interests (probably intensified due to my shit executive functioning) and the fact that I will miss my family. How did you handle such a transition?
If you already can (and do) cook for yourself, clean house, do your own laundry, and do your own shopping, you'll be fine. It's mostly just a matter of adding rent and utility bills on top of that, plus securing whatever transportation you need.
If you don't do these things already, today is an apt time to start.
I actually know how to cook and shop, and clean somewhat so that's nice. Cooking is actively enjoyable for me even
