Moving into your childhood home with your parents after years of living independently is an adjustment, to say the least.

I feel I've regressed back to my teenage self, but I'm trying to see this period as a chance to spend quality time with my family. .

Many young people have moved home during the pandemic — be it due to mental health challenges, risks to their physical health.

Some told me they'd moved home to help their parents pay the mortgage because they'd lost their jobs due to COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. .

I spoke to people who've moved in with their parents during this time to find out how they've adapted. .

This is Ratton's first time living with her parents since she was 18, and she feels like they're actually getting on much better now than they did when she was younger.

Ellie Pilcher was living alone in London but decided to come home after multiple requests from her parents, who eventually demanded she come home.

"I feel like I’m back at school, doing revision half the time," she confessed.

Even though you're "home home", it might not feel like your home.

You're not sleeping in your usual bed, you've only got some of your clothes with you (three outfits in my case!), and you've a lot less alone time than you're used to. .

Pilcher told me she brought a blanket with her from her house and unpacked all her clothes so she wouldn't feel like she was living out of a suitcase.

Even when you're working from home alone, it's easy to get distracted by household chores that need doing — particularly when the mess is bothering you while you work

Pilcher recommended being clear with your family about the hours you're working and "what you cannot do during that time (no quick hoovering sessions or folding the laundry) so that you keep to your structured working day without disruptions."

Clare Dyckhoff has asthma and made the decision to temporarily move home for health reasons

Being back home has made me feel safer in a way — and if you can chat to family members about how you're feeling and vice versa, it can really help root you to managing this day by day, and feel a lot less alone." She's replaced going out for dinner with reading books, and in-person hangouts have given way to technology-enabled mingles

If you've had to move home due to financial pressures or health issues, know that you're not alone
