We just recently moved and although it was an improvement from where we lived before I'm having a difficult time adjusting to the new situation. It's weird and unexpected that I would feel this way. I thought I would be happier, and I am, but everything that goes with it is stressing me out. The address changes with all our institutions for one thing, not having a vehicle and having to take a bus for another. Plus I've not ridden the buses around here so have to learn all that. My cat won't stop whining and I can't sleep because I'm constantly itchy, I think it's a stress reaction. The whole thing has been very stressful. But mostly everything we need is within walking distance but now that it's winter and getting rainier and colder it makes me not want to go out like I used to. I'm hoping all this is temporary. We're basically starting out fresh with virtually nothing as well. No furniture except our beds. Having to set up wifi. It'll be cheaper in the long run but this month and next month include the deposit (it got broken up into two payments) but will take most our money......I just feel under so much pressure. I'm thankful for what we do have and am trying to see all the benefits and stay positive. I guess it being the holidays is adding to it. Idk what's wrong with me. I'm hoping things will get better. And we haven't received our mail yet and I'm not sure how long that takes to kick in. Any advice or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. I'm just feeling kind of lost and alone right now.
