Okay, life can be hard
8 years ago
Help, reality has set in, and I want out!
That may be a touch melodramatic.
Here's an update to my story:
> I have a lovely trans-girlfriend, and we love each other deeply (yay!)
> My girlfriend lives 2 time-zones away from me (uh oh...)
> Said girlfriend will be kicked out of her father's house when he learns about the transition (not good)
> Said transition is happening anyway (problems rising)
> I just lost my day job this past Friday due to company downsizing because the major client is restructuring and pulled out of their contracts (wait, WHAT?)
> Above mentioned girlfriend lives in a region with housing about 1/10th the cost of my current area (that's tempting)
> My wrist pain continues, meaning I'm limited in what I can actually DO in the winter (Houston, we have a problem...)
> My 26th birthday is next month (January), which means that even if "Obamacare" isn't repealed, I no longer have to benefit from my parents' insurance...and without a job, I will need to get a private insurance for myself (the cost of living is getting pretty high now)
> My job skills are widely applicable (whew!)
> Finally, my psych therapist disapproves of LDRs, making it hard to bounce ideas off him for what to do next, and totally doesn't get furries (that first part hurts)
So, am I right is saying "to Mordor with these problems, LET'S ACKBAR THIS THING!" - or not? Also, can someone give me a convincing argument why NOT to move closer to my girlfriend, please?
