Re: not coping

Is your work far from your house? @outlander Is it like a residential setting or something?

Also, how have you settled into your house? Is it okay?

Re: not coping

now that ive moved its between 25 and 45 minutes depending where im needed for clients. tomorrow is 25 min each way. @tyme
group home tomorrow

house is ok, its abit far away but its ok and better the knowing i would be on the streets. abit of a shock to the system price wise though. its triple what i was paying before but price for a private isnt to bad i guess with most bills included except power

im feeling pretty anxious though

Re: not coping

Ouch! That hurts the pocket! But as you said, at least you'll have a roof over your head.

I guess 25 mins to travel to work is pretty 'average'. I know some people travel 2.5 hours to travel to SANE's office each time they go. @outlander

Hope work is okay for you. What time do you leave home?
