I just had a fun night with a relatively new friend. We've been talking about moving in to a basement suite as roommates for the last few months, but I've been kinda waffling on it, but I think I might just be ready to now. I ended up moving back home a year and a half ago because I'd dropped out of school as a result of my depression. I have some suicidal crisis during that time and one just a few weeks ago, but I think I've changed, I asked for and got the help I needed and I think that represents a huge shift for me and maybe that it's time to move fully in the phase of independent college student. I'll still see my therapist and rely on the support of my friends and family, but I won't depend on them for financial support. Part of me is afraid that this is too much too fast, but part of me thinks this could really provide the momentum to get my life back together. Just tell me what you think.
