Just need to vent real quick. Last year my mom and i moved to a new state and decided to live with my sister until we found a place. It’s been over a year and my mom still hasn’t found a place yet. I haven’t had my own space in so long. Been sleeping (haven’t really been sleeping at all) on the couch every night because there’s no rooms available and been living from a suitcase for a year and half now. I feel like not having my own space or privacy made me lose who i am. My room use to hold so much of my identity, and that identity is completely lost now. I keep going back and forth because i feel like this is such a first world problem and there’s people out there who don’t even have roof over there heads, but idk it’s really affecting me drastically. p.s. if you read this, you’re a gem💎

I can understand that completely. Its not that you're not grateful, you are just expressing how it makes you feel after a year. And thats okay. I get feeling like having your own room is your space, privacy, and identity in a way but a room is just a room and you are still you. So you still have your identity just not a space to fully express you and make that space represent you or the things you like. There's nothing I could say to change the situation for you, just take it a day at a time. Ask to hang a poster up or even take 30 minutes in the bathroom each day for your time your space. I do hope it gets better for you
