To be more specific, I'm struggling with feelings of being both uncomfortable and depressed because I cannot live on my own or handle going to college at this time in my life.

I was discharged from my first hospitalization stint about two weeks ago. Before that, I was planning on moving out this year, getting a full time job, the whole nine yards and really becoming independent. I'm just that kind of person - I'd rather be on my own because otherwise I feel like I'm a burden to others, which is a whole other set of problematic emotions!

It's a feeling that's hitting me hard this afternoon at work while I'm browsing job listings. I like the position I'm at now, but my hours were cut TOO much due to overstaffing so I'm looking for another part time position somewhere else...it's just weird to me that I don't need to find a job to pay all sorts of housing bills now.

Less stress? Yes. I do appreciate it. But it is disappointing, unfortunately.
