Looking for an appartment in the netherlands alone is impossible.

I started working last year and been living in a small appartment in a city I used to study. Now im moving for a job and I want to get an appartment that atleast makes me feel like I am not a sardine in a tincan. I used to live in a 17 square meter with kitchen in the room. Now all I can find is lots of roommates or everything is too expensive. I have been struggling sleeping and can't focus on work cause im obsessily checking websites and refreshing emails.

Now I finally found something and it turned out to be a dissapointment.
I am not asking for much, just a private studio close to the centre. Why is the housemarket so shit that I can't even find any place suitable.

I guess I kinda wanted to yell into the void about this, cause I just feel at my witsend.

The artwork isnt mine its from @titsay on twitter. It's what I tell myself when my anxiety is spiking at the thought of not finding a place on time. Also they has some really funny and wholesome art, you should check them out.
