So Victoria is moving out. So we're going to have to move. We're thinking about moving several hours away to a condo but we need to improve our credit a little. We're making moves to get off assistance. Including going to school and starting a business. It's a two year plan. I'm working 4 hours a day on school work. I'm not under the impression that I can work full time or non-remote. Hell I can't take the bus by myself. I'm really concerned the stress will make my symptoms worse.

I'm worried about the future, too. Like many long-time homeowners, we'd pay more for housing if we move, even if we downsize to a 1 BR apartment from a sprawling 3 BR ranch on a park-like setting. Sure we'd get some equity from the deal, I suppose.
Even more worrisome is the cost of my wife's health care. We've been reaching the insurance plan's maximum out-of-pocket. Add to that dental care. And add my daughter's student loan payment and the payment for the Parent Plus loan I took out. __________________ Major Depressive Disorder; Sleep Apnea; possibly on the spectrum Nuvigil 50mg; Effexor 37.5mg Wellbutrin 100mg; meds for blood pressure & cholesterol |

I don't know much about how Sec. 8 works (I think you have it?) but where I worked in home health there were several apartment complexes for Sec 8 that were extremely nice. I remember one in particular that was set up for people with impaired mobility; it even had a built in wood shower chair with an accessible shower. That one was super nice but there were a couple others I remember that were quite accessible.
I don't know if that is available elsewhere but if you could find it it sounds like it would really help you. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

We're trying to get a mobility unit but it's a condo but if working works out enough that we get of section 8 then things bomb it's a ten year waiting list to get back on.

So I found out that the certificate I'm doing won't transfer. I was hoping at least one class language is hard for me today. I filled out the school disability form and I was like can I really do this.

I'm really questioning our ability to do this but I really want to succeed.

I wish I could help out more, but honestly I'm in the similar boat of "I want to do x, but shoving all idealism aside, can I?"
I kinda hate the fact that I'm expected to do more than survive the day and plan for winter. I do find stress and having a schedule with limited flexibility makes my symptoms worse. There's so much in the air right now and not a lot of predictability; it's hard to commit to something (for me anyway). __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |
