I've seen threads about trusting our intuition/fear when looking for a relationship with a HVM, but none (AFAIK) about other areas in life. So today I'd like to explore the subject under a different context.
My specific situation involves trying to buy an apartment. It's currently mission impossible, but I have some money I have specifically saved up for this, and a family member who might be able to help me.
Thing is, this is a huge financial commitment and it makes me extremely scared. I have visited one specific place I'm interested in three times now, and everytime I leave feeling very sad. Like, depressed sad. I think it's because it's very expensive and I'm not sure Ill be able to pay for it. The more math I do the more confused I get. The extra expenses and bureocracy are so complicated and make me even more confused. Besides, I keep thinking about everything that could go wrong and how this dream could become a nightmare (it has happened before in different areas of my life). Buying a place to call home is one of my biggest dreams and a big "pain point" regarding my mental health. So everything related to this is very stressful, very heavy to me.
All this being said, I would like to know from y'all how you think intuition may play a part in a situation like this. Are my sadness, stress and anxiety regarding this particular issue a result of my intuition telling me I should wait/give up? Or is this just normal fear of a big financial commitment? How do I get in touch with my intuition in this scenario?
When I was house hunting, I left a really cool townhome in a nice area feeling exactly the way you describe. The reason? That townhome wasn't for me. It didn't mesh with me on a certain level and that's why I reacted the way I did. That being said, it is very important for women to own their own property.
My advice: expand your search! Visit more buildings! Really get to know the area you're looking for property in. What can you work with? What is a MUST?
