WTF?!
Why is it that when things start actually going your way and you start bettering yourself and your situation, something ALWAYS happens to kick you back down to where you started?
I had just started actually being able to save money (my savings account had a balance, whee!) and was paying off medical bills/credit cards, when my apartment complex sends us a little note in the mail that basically says, "You guys have been great tenants, but you make too much money and we would rather get more money from the government... so get the fuck out". That being said, our lease is up on the 21st of this month. We found a place to move to (but we have to pay like $1200 between pro-rated rent and deposits) and there was an apartment available on the 21st... I call the next day to reserve the apartment, but I was informed that someone else had already reserved it. They advised me that there was another apartment available on the 14th, but I'd have to pick up the keys and pay everything that day and that they wouldn't hold it any longer... so I put in notice with my current asshole apartment complex and was advised that even though they're kicking us out basically, we still couldn't move out any earlier than the 26th. So... we have to pay double rent for 12 days. On top of this.. my auto insurance company said that because of my move, my premium will be going from $650 to $964... a 50% increase!
I'm so stressed out that my schooling is suffering and I currently have an F in my class, yay me. I never do poorly in school.. I used to be able to ignore the bad things in life and at least keep track in school.. but since I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I can't seem to focus on anything. My docs are changing my meds again and it's pretty hard to manage. I was so out of it and depressed that I had to call in sick to work today.. I don't normally do that either. *sigh* I don't know what to do... when I get like this, crawling into a black hole and dying sound like the best thing in the world...
