Thanks for your well thought out reply.

No, my boyfriend wouldn't throw me out on the street but rent, bills, and living expenses would be difficult for him to cover alone. We agreed that I would contribute. But that was based on my having a disability assistance income. You may have read my other threads/posts regarding this. That my decision to move was based on false information a previous social worker provided. It was only after the balls were rolling with no going back that my new social worker informed me I was getting cut off.

Yes, you are correct. There is in fact a Mental Health Association and I have forgotten my very own advice - to go down and see if they have a vocational counsellor or at least a job board. Very good advice.

Divine1966, et al... I have a bit of positive news in this mess. I had a job interview (big box retail) on Friday which went very very well. They are recommending me to a final interview and have already a position in mind. It is not for sure yet, but I remain confident. However I have a new trigger of Anxiety - returning to work itself after years of not doing so.

I have not been referred to a new psychiatrist in this city yet but I do now have a new family doctor. I am thinking I need to talk to someone and he ought to be a good start.
