Worried about having to move.

wow, do I ever know what you mean, Rose. But don't give up and take care of yourself, tho don't let your illness and some things about your life define yourself. Maybe you can find some affirmations you can use that really speak to you, that would help. Something like, I am loved and needed by certain people, certain animals, etc. I still have a lot to give to this world, to make a better place. I will be kind to myself now. I know I'm worth it. And whatever floats your boat, etc. I'm sure you have your own ideas and there are prob other folks who have good ones, too. Just my humble two cents. One of mine is I choose happiness over bipolar, although I acknowledge I must manage mental illness. Like I say, sometimes, not always effective, but worth a try. Take care, my friend, hope you feel better! Also, when you have a lot of time on your hands, it's important to stay busy, to reach out where healthy, to do somethings that are fulfilling, helpful, fun, etc. Believe me, I know!!!! It's a struggle, but really worth the work. But sometimes, I fall, and you may get to see that here on PC. I'm usually not too silent for too long, but it happens now and then. Blessings, friend!

I really do understand about creating your own monster, Rose. Hope you are doing better some now, or very soon!!!!

sometimes I practice not being reactive to people and events, as part of meditation. I visualize myself in possible situations. Sometimes this helps, sometimes not, even with my marriage, tho that's the hardest!

Strips pasted in the tub might come off with the kind of razor blade tool used to clean paint etc off glass. You could ask the landlord if they tried that, but re-glazing will make it like new, yes.

Professional movers are the way to go, and yes, multiple people move in and out on the same day and it can be somewhat nightmarish/amazing. Yes, it's possible to rent for half the month, don't know if you already had that arranged - this is a long thread and I didn't read it all.

Yes, a lot of cleaning is expected when you move out. The nicer the building,the more is expected.

Thanks H3rmit. I am going to have to have some overlap. Too nightmarish otherwise. Thanks for tip about tub. Hugs.
