DVR = Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, they sometimes help we disabled folks out, with education and job training, with related moving costs assisted. Depends though what help you can get if any according to federal budget and all that, last I heard, not much was available. But if you are eligible, I encourage all to go for it.

I am on SSI, my only income, DVR paid for me to move from a small town with only tourist industry to a small city with a decent college. I then got financial aid for school on my own through usual route.

Another idea, remember to reward yourself however you can after each step. You are faced with a lot, a big project, you can break it down into steps, and treat yourself really good when you achieve each one.

Post in the online classified ads and you get a cookie. Along those lines, this has also helped me immensely. Otherwise I feel overwhelmed and in a panic, and all my not-fun symptoms come roaring back. With some treats, some tenderness for myself, and some occasional distractions like a good book or a nice walk, I do better.
