Hello, I'm new here. But I needed to reach out and talk to people about this. I have a therapist I go to on Tuesdays, but I wanted to talk to more people about this. Essentially, my entire life that I have gotten used to for the last ten years is changing. I know its probably for the better, but I can't keep myself from thinking negative thoughts. Here is the story:

I graduated from college in May, and ever since then I have been depressed. On top of this my parents got a divorce, and my mom just moved out of the house in July. Now, my sister is moving back home from where she was living.

I've been looking for a job ever since I graduated (and before). I got a devastating rejection from a job that I really thought I would get, and it bruised my confidence. About two weeks ago I got a call from a recruiter saying he wanted me to interview for a position, but it was in a neighboring state two hours away.

I interviewed last Wednesday, and got a job offer that night. I negotiated a salary and accepted the offer the next day. I am thrilled about this job, and believe it will be very good from me, however, they want me to start ASAP which means I only have 2 weeks to search for a place to stay. Also my employment is on a trial basis, so I could be on for 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year. So I'm hesitant to sign a year lease. I also have a cat who keeps me out of my depression, so apartment searching is difficult because he is a necessity. Though I can leave him at my father's house if needed.

I thought I would stop feeling depressed once I found a job, but I haven't and I don't know why. I need some help figuring things out. <3 Thank you.
