Practicing Hope

So, this thread will be me attempting practical approach to my Hopes to recovery.

I’ve posted the same post on my other thread “housing option”

@rogueone @anon4362788 @Moonbeam @Ninjastar will you please delete the thread “housing option” ?

The reason is I’ve sort of evolved the concept of its content… thank you.

So the realtor agent has now suggested MFTE as an option. With this program, I would get cheaper rent in a better unit to live.

$750/month. It’s not too shabby, but it would mean the earliest date to move in is on 10/12, where as my employment will start on 10/13.

It’s a huge risk, and I’m not even sure I would be accepted to the apartment. Though I would not need a co-signer now.

But I’m trying to practice my compromising skill, and hold off my level of gratification and putting others’ idea before my own. I read the lack of compromising is a quality who suffers from personality disorder, so trying to be better.

The specialist in the MFTE program has told me to buy the plane ticket, set to move in on the 12th of October, when I expressed my worries of not able to move in by my training period at the job begins.

I’m worried, because I’m afraid I can’t get necessary documents in time, because my current company is slow… or I’m slow, I don’t even know anymore.

Perhaps I can buy the plane ticket, now with cancel insurance so it could soften the financial blow, if the plan falls through.

Then, I would need to set up a COVID test, because the pandemic protocol for the entry of US is required to take the test three days prior to boarding.

Oh heck, well I didn’t expect moving to the US would be possible, so of coarse there are risks involved. But shoot it does wear me out to be honest.

Moving is so stressful; I know.

It sounds like a lot to manage. I would be a little freaked out, moving and then beginning a job the next day. Best of luck, whatever you decide

Maybe you could just set up your bed the first day and put the rest on hold so you can concentrate on work next day. Try to keep the stress down.

Yes ideally… but i would need to double check on the location of the workplace, so I won’t be lost getting there the next day… I always do that when I’m starting a new work.

Luckily the new apartment will be furnished if everything goes well accordingly.

I might end up flying there a tad early, and stay at a hotel, to be safe perhaps :thinking:

Oh I need to call the dietitian at the new work place. She’s sort of ghosting me.

Is the offer still legit?
Need her to sign the employment verification form for the housing unit.
What to bring in first day.
What’s her managing style.

That sort of thing.

Sometimes I dunno what I’m doing honestly.
At times I’m just zoning out moving my body diligently to the plan I’ve encoded myself, like a robot, say.

I wish I could offer u some advice but honestly I can’t

I hope everything works out well for u

Yeah I suppose certifications I’ve take a few years back is helping me grounded.

You can always build your resume by doing volunteering at a place related to interested job positions. You know, for a reference.

Have you considered easier role within the field?

The place I work now have waaay less responsibilities. It also means less pay, but I can use it as a reference for the next one.

I started working at my current place as part of integrating myself in to society again… spent too long in institutions and on the street.

It could even be volunteering?
