I guess I could've done a little better in explaining my situation:
-- I moved in with my parents in March. I got a job in the area, but my presence around the house still helped the family situation.
-- When things really turned for the worse, I quit my job in July so I could be around to help "full-time."
-- My dad's job then relocated him 600 miles away. He moved out first. The rest followed suit as they could. Since it was sudden, the house hadn't been listed or sold yet.
-- I was hoping to have relocated myself, when all was said and done, since things were kind of straightening out again. But that didn't happen. I wasn't actually landing any jobs despite all my interviews. Then my grandma's sister, who lived with her, passed away. That really sent things on a downward spiral.
-- My grandma ended up moving in with the family in the new home since she was now alone and there was no family around back at the old place and it felt wrong putting her in a nursing home there with no one around.
-- I figured since I couldn't get a job yet and everything was falling apart for everyone, I was at least in a position where I could help everyone get settled in. I made my move from the old place at the end of September.
-- For the next month I basically lived out of my boxes and suitcases in "the other room" while helping everyone get settled. The situation with my grandma has since resolved.

So here I am. I got rid of a lot of things when I moved from the old house to here. I've essentially moved twice in the past year. Being 28, it's not like I've accumulated a great amount of things - being single and no kids. I drive a Focus. When I finally leave, my wish is to be able to throw everything I own in that car and just be done with it all. Truth be told, I like living minimally.

My anxiety is really the fact that everything is just kind of strewn all about. There's stuff I need to unpack to keep here with them (as I mentioned), stuff that will come with me no matter what, etc. and not really a lot of room to spread things out and go through it. I'm fortunate in that when I left the old place, I did box some stuff up and marked "do not open" because I knew it didn't need to be unpacked here and that it would end up going with me to my place when I move (i.e. DVDs, printer, picture frames).

I hate that there's only like half a foot of clearance under my bed and I can't put anything under it. That would make things easier.
