So I have finally decided to move back home with my parents. Not good. It has caused me to reflect on how fruitless my life has been, particularly the last two years. I really deteriorated mentally the last two years, I assume from living by myself and being isolated. Hopefully being around people will snap me out of it.

At the moment though I am quite emotional and have been sobbing a bit. I feel like going through all my old stuff and throwing out some of the stuff that needs to be thrown out, like old video games and papers. The thinking is that maybe this will stop me from being too depressed about returning to the past. I guess it's time to move on, if I can.

Good luck. I live with my mom, it has good and bad days. I like having mode money.

Can you list all the positives of moving back in with your parents? Are they themselves positive and happy people? Are they welcoming you back with open arms?
Thanks for this!

Sometimes moving back home can be a good thing. It doesn't mean your life has been fruitless. Just look at it as "taking a break". Our daughter moved back home last year to help pay her student loans. She felt as you do, then she realized it's not because she's failed, but on her way to success.

Blessings to you. I hope that this move gives you time to heal. I had to make a similar move six years ago. I went through all of the emotions one could go through about having to do so. It wasn't the end of the world though. Perhaps, you can think of it as "time out" or recovery time. Just a time to regroup.
Thanks for this!

Yes they are welcoming me, in fact they persuaded me in the end, and I was not mentally well enough to move into a different rental property, so eventually I decided just to make back home with them. I feel ok about it today.
