so here's what's in the box, and my comments/observations are in parentheses. maybe if i write it out here, too, it'll hold me accountable for my ideas and thoughts...
1. finding a place to live (i don't know if i should bother looking for houses on my househunting trip or concentrate on finding apartments. i definitely need a 6mo. apt rental before i can get a house)
2. getting money in time for the trip (nothing i can do about this [i booked my flight already and am not sure the money will come in time to pay for my trip and i have nothing in reserve to pay for hotels and cars])
3. starting a new job (you wanted this, a*hole)
4. finding a new life (running away is what you do best)
5. finding a cool coffee shop (call the Impact Group for help with this)
6. finding a good pdoc (my friend has a phone number that will tell you the APA something or other docs in any area, i should call her)
7. getting meds/not running out [i only have a week's worth of meds left] (gonna have to use moving allowance to buy meds, don't go without)
8. should i find a T? (use friend's number again, or do I call the Impact Group?)
9. a support group? (found the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance for my new area and their meetings are twice a month.)
incidentally, i also made a list of renting vs. buying and it didn't help. i don't know what to do. i don't know if i'm mature enough to handle a house, but my job will pay all the closing costs so it'll be about the same price (per month) as renting, and it'll repair my badly damaged credit. it almost seems stupid not to take advantage of it. but i have to do it within one year. i'm torn.
