It has been a long time that I have not blog. I have sold my house and waiting to move into our 860 sq. feet condo from a 2,500 sq. feet house. We sold our house in three days by end of May this year. My husband had two major surgeries and three months of chemo. Our lives have changed so much. I think I'm falling into depression from time to time. I need to find a place to screem. Can not cry any more! Maybe the new condo will help me or maybe not. Confine space can drive me crazy! I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say any more!

Even though you're moving to a smaller space, I think moving to a new place can be liberating and exciting! Think of the material things you can finally shed, and then distill your life's goods into just the essentials and the sentimentals. You'll find that to be happy in life, you really don't need that much. Take care!
Being in a "confined space" also means that you have a greater incentive to get outside the house instead of sitting around watching TV. You may find that you missed out on a lot of things when you simply stayed at home. Given your husband's recent surgery, you may not be able to go out on the town as often, but being incentivized to walk around the block every day isn't a bad thing either. His health may actually improve as a result of it.
As for space, small and large is all relative. If I had your sized flat, I would be stressing out on having to spend the extra money to fit it out compared to my 400' shoebox where the only thing I bought was a mattress, dresser, computer desk and couch. I didn't even need to buy a bed because the frame was built into the room. Most people never use their living room and dining room or the guest room but pay rent/mortgage on it regardless of whether it simply has a carpet on it or a CD stand. You're better off saving the money on wasted space and spending it on a nice dinner out.
You can never find happiness via possessions and having high expectations or standards is a fast way to become depressed because everything falls short of what you want. I haven't had a TV for five years and don't miss it one bit. I also haven't owned a car for the same amount of time and dread actually having to own one because it limits my mobility in another sense.
Have no expectations and everything will exceed your expectations by leaps and bounds and you will be happy! That is not to say you shouldn't have goals or aspirations, even if material ones. There is nothing wrong with wanting more but understand the difference between wanting more and needing more. One leads to further happiness and one leads to sheer misery and repeated disappointment.
Good luck! You will find that you are more adaptable than you realize.
I love you momcy!
