I have my lease for my current place (i live alone) up to end of January. My deposit for this place is a lot of money and i want to get it back when i leave. I’ve become depressed recently and don’t think living alone (during a pandemic, with family and most friends abroad) is helping me. One of my friend’s roommate is moving out her of place at the end of december so i agreed to take her place. I’d have to pay rent for 2 places in January. My rationale was, i would be moving in with my friend and i wouldn’t be alone all the time and that’s good for my mental health. Also, my current work contract ends early January so i have time to relax a bit (been so stressed at work) and move my things into the new place without rushing (i once worked 50 hours in a week, packed at night after work and moved that Saturday into a new place and started work on monday again. I was really dying that week). But it’s hitting me now. Oh my god. I’m paying twice my usual rent for that month. Oh shit. My mum told me “you’ll earn it back” but she’s probably more worried that i’m alone and depressed than she is about money. But now i can’t stop thinking about the money i’ll be losing.
