Fortunately, the 30-year-old has revealed she has now moved into her new home, as she encouraged anyone going through a tough time to push through '[they] don't last,' she promised.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday morning, Thalia shared a series of clips from her life lately including clips of her chilling in her new home, moving houses, getting active and socialising with friends and family.
The Dublin native admitted she had been 'losing the will to live' recently as she moved houses in the middle of a housing crisis.
She said: 'I spent weeks trying to find somewhere to live and to be honest, there was more than one time that I thought I was going to end up homeless.'
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant detailed how she tried to keep things normal in the midst of 'checking my Daft notifications and emailing estate agents like a crazed ex.'
She said: 'I had to just try and keep going. I know these videos are beautiful with work trips and sunny days and hugging lambs but it just goes to show you really never know what people are going through.

'In very typical fashion it wasn't just trying to find a house that was going wrong, but living out of a suitcase for awhile and having to find joy in the smallest moments really taught me quite a big lesson.'
Thalia expressed her gratitude to her friends and family who got her through the difficult process and shared words of wisdom for anyone going through their won thought times.
'Promise you'll get stronger in the process,' she shared, 'I'm not going to be one of those a*****es who says that God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers but maybe they've got a point.'
Friends and followers took to the comments to extend congratulations, with Limerick model Shauna Lindsay writing: 'Delighted you got a place! New beginnings girl.'
Paralympian Ellen Keane added: 'Moving is THE WORST thing in the world. Especially trying to find a home with your 2 babies. Hope you make amazing memories in your new place.'
A third shared: 'So stressful, glad to hear you got sorted!'
