Hate Being Home

[Gs172003]

I'm pretty sure I'm alone in this but being at home makes me miserable. Even if I'm by myself. It doesn't feel like a home to me and I can't make it so. I feel like a stranger here. How do I change that?

How long have you lived there? Is there anything that would make it feel more like home?

that's exactly how i feel. although, objectively it's a nice house, in the suburbs, with a nice garden etc i litteraly dislike it. i d like so much to move but financially it's out of the question. What is more my husband considers it to be his shelter. Often times i wonder whether another house would be a solution for me. i suppose that my inner abandonned child just wants to go back to her paternal house, before my adoption at my 9 yrs old and go on her childhood development. Which is unreasonble and practically impossible. Concequently i usually feel trapped. What, occasionally helps me are my hobbies. e.g. painting or amateur jewelry making as a way of distraction. i suppose i need some self soothing i infortunately know very little about

I feel the same most of the time and I love alone.

For me, decorating some small spaces that I can see every day has worked well for me. I mean like magazine type decorating. I know I did that and it makes me feel good when I see them. And it is making me feel like this physical space is mine.

Just am idea and something that works for me.

Also, you are married with kids, right? I think I am remembering right. If so, having a space just fo you that is off limits to husband and kids. It is yours only. I have hears that works.

You ain't alone my friend! I cannot stand being at home!

I also cannot stand my parents house! Which used to be home...

I also hate being alone at my apartment/flat. I have a house where my family live and I have my own flat. I've changed many things in the search of happiness!

Sometimes I like the silence, sometimes it depresses me fast and severe!

The moment my son left, my house stopped being home. It was never my home. Not something I built for me, but something I built for him. There was no point to it without him. It was just a place. Worse, it was a place that was missing it's reason for being. It was wrong. Everything about it was wrong.

I hate being away from my home.

This happens to me, too. As soon as arrive home, my mind goes down. Even though I was in a good mood few minutes before...
I find very difficult to feel «safe»
