It has been a month since we moved into our new home. The whole process took 11 months, which meant that we were subjected to uncertainty, anxiety and stress for almost an entire year. I partially shut down, only focusing on the task at hand and dealing with the numerous associated issues. Everything else was neglected.

Although there is still a lot of work to do to truly make it our own, we already feel at home. We are happy and optimistic about the future. I'm surprised by how quickly we have settled in; emerging from 'sleep mode' has taken longer, but I'm finally ready to engage with the world again 😊

Where I lay my head is home: residential instability and earlier onset of psychosis https://www.nationalelfservice.net/?p=170757

Liana Romaniuk summarises a recent US cross-sectional study which suggests that residential instability (moving home a lot) may lead to disrupted social networks and relationships, predisposing vulnerable youth to greater stress, which can increase their risk of psychosis.
