However, a main factor she is moving so soon is because her mom is pressing her to move in so that she isn't so lonely during the holidays. I don't know how I'm going to survive this winter. I truly have no idea. If I weren't on an anti depressant now I'd break down and probably kill myself. Good thing I'm on one. I don't know what to do.
My best option is to find a room for rent somewhere closer to my work. That way rent is at a minimal and the utilities are paid for. I just don't know where I can find a place, let alone one that accepts my cat. I can't leave my cat behind. I get her the day I got out of the hospital after my year long psychosis. She's been with my through thick and thin.
But I don't know how I will afford my car payments, rent, medicine, phone bill, and food all at the same time. I can barely make it as it is. Furthermore I paint and drywall for a living. There are no exteriors to paint during the winter making work very scarce. Not to mention snow days.
I don't know what to do.

Maybe look for a roommate situation? That might be cheaper than renting a furnished room. I don't know, though. But it does seem that if enough people were sharing rent, you might not have to pay as much rent at all.
Can you afford between $30 and $35 per month for phone bill? With prepaid phone service you will definitely save money over post paid.
