Hi Bama,

I just moved from Tucson to Portland, OR two months ago and I understand your overwhelm. The internet is what helped me have a smooth move. The list making is a good idea, and to keep your list managable, use index cards with only 5 items on each card. Your goal should be to accomplish 5 things every day or so, and don't stress if you only get 3 done. Just add the other two to next days list and go from there. It's very overwhelming to look at a list that has 60 items on it. As for finding a roommate, check Craigslist.com. And as for finding T's and docs, ask around on this list. I bet there are people on here who are in the area you're going to. Post a message on a General message board and see if you get some feedback.

Good luck and don't be afraid to ask your loved ones for help when you need it. Big moves are not meant to be done single-handedly.

Good luck! You're a Survivor! You can do it.
