I have that too. But I get paranoid about a LOT of things.

Is it paranoia, or is the fear based in reality?

I have this thought of not being able to cope if and when I move.

If I can’t cope it may be reality.

The older I get the less certain I get about my ability to cope with or do things.

I also fear homelessness in the later stages of life (old age), once my parents are gone.

I used to get this a lot. Lately I find myself worrying a lot less in general. I think it’s because I used to worry so much, the worrying part of my brain broke!

This fear all the time 24/7, except when I’m actively distracting myself.

I can relate to having this fear of homelessness. This is a difficult fear to have. I can’t say with 100% certainty that it could never happen and this feeds my paranoia about it. I like to believe that “When the going gets tough the tough get going” and I imagine that if I ever have to face homelessness I would find a way somehow to overcome it. I try to focus on the fact that currently I’m not homeless and try to think of things in my control that I can do to further prevent this from happening. Hope this helps, you’re not alone.

Hi moving house Is hugely stressful,
Im sure it will be ok.

Try and get the social services to help. When I was moving I got a social worker who helped me loads. They are forcing you to move so I think you have a really good case to request help.

My stepdaughter and granddaughters will be helping me move. She is trying to arrange for me to move near her on medical grounds. Hopefully they will step in if things go pear shaped.

homelessness is not so great for me, at least. I’d probably have to live in an overcrowded shelter with a lot of other people. food would likely be less convenient. there’d be little to no privacy. and sometimes there are people smoking weed in the bathroom. by the way, I’m quite sure that homeless shelter bathrooms are not very clean nor maintained well. getting kicked out of a shelter is possible, too.

and if I chose not to live in a homeless shelter then things would get quite hard. I’d need to know where to go and when to do things, because of the police.
