moved across the country and it feels like everything is falling apart
my partner and I just moved across the country, this summer I put a ton of money toward the move (gas, stays, security deposit and etc. on a new house, thousands toward my car to make sure it could handle the trip.) we made it from South Carolina to Washington state, to Seattle, where I got in a car accident. Now in a matter of days i’m trying to move into a new house, start a new life, start a graduate program, and get over the trauma of my first car wreck, and my car is totaled. I’m having a hard time getting myself together, let alone showing up to my first days of class and trying to stay engaged and not fall apart. I have a few grand in savings, I’m living off a grad school stipend and haven’t even started to get paid yet. I don’t know the first thing about getting a new car, insurance, anything here. my relationship is starting to buckle a little from how broken up we’ve both been. we’re lonely. we’re trying to push ourselves to go out to the things we’d usually go to but we’re both pretty down. i’m overwhelmed. neither of us have made a move in our adult life, it’s about three weeks in and we’re both just feeling lonely. i’m trying to push myself. i’m trying to be present in my program. a member of my cohort was selling a car— for a couple days we thought it might be perfect— took it for a test drive yesterday and it’s in terrible shape, back to square one. i auditioned for the fall play at my university this morning— i’ve done a lot of stage acting and felt hopeful— and i just got the email that i didn’t even make callbacks. we’re floundering. she’s 31F i’m 26F, we’re in Bellingham WA. seeking guidance if possible
