I assume that many of you are of the age where you live alone or have lived alone before. I'm 22 and in the process of applying to grad schools out of state, where I'd have to go live alone quite possibly. My boyfriend hasn't quite decided if he'd come..most likely not. I'd be in a brand new state knowing absolutely no one. I'm scared that I won't be able to do this..but I think it'd be extremely beneficial for me because I have kept myself so sheltered all my life. My anxiety has kept me from doing many things because I'm scared to do them alone. I'm scared of a lot of things really and I worry about every little thing.

My question for you all is How did you handle your anxiety if you ever lived alone? Did it cause a problem? If so, how did you deal with it?
Am I just being naive thinking someone like me could ever handle this?
