Anxious/paranoid about homelessness

It’s one of my major hang ups. Currently exacerbated by the prospect of a move that is going to happen but I don’t know when exactly.
I am just not sure how I am going to cope setting up in a new place. I imagine myself struggling and ending up on the streets.
The thoughts are irrational as my step daughter has said she would not let me go under but they are very persuasive.

I struggle with the same thoughts sometimes, @firemonkey. Even though I have a family that would never let me live on the streets, the government sometimes puts these thoughts into my head that i’m gonna end up homeless. It can be quite troubling, to be sure. Sorry you are dealing with this. I remind myself that I have family that cares about me. That’s how I counter the thoughts.

My problem is I am not good with change/transition. I am also one of the least practical persons you could find,

Yeah, I know change can be a hard thing to deal with. It’s easier when we can stay in our zone, in our daily patterns, but sometimes change is good. Maybe it won’t be as bad as your mind makes it out to be. I know I tend to make things way worse in my mind than they end up being in real life. Whatever the case may be, you can handle it, I’m sure. Just take it a day at a time. And keep coming here and posting, letting us know how you’re doing and allowing us to encourage you. I’m sure you will do fine.
