Yes, it's still less than two months since I moved out, so hopefully things will get easier. I think it was a bit over-optimistic of me to assume that things would suddenly improve with moving out, but I definitely feel the benefits of independence some of the time.

I'm also still trying to find my 'level' in the much wider, more complex and more vibrant Jewish community where I now live, but that's been going on for a year, since my parents and I moved to the area when I was still living with them (we moved as a family last August and then I moved out to a nearby studio flat in June this year). Again, I think that's going to take time, and will partly depend on my mental health and self-confidence.
