I'm so nervous

I'm almost in tears. I'm so nervous about moving. I'm not moving until the first week in May, and I'm saying on top of things, I think.

I've been packing one box per day, but I think I need to step it up to at least two boxes per day. It's only me and my cat, Chloe, in a small one bedroom apartment, but I'm so worried something will go wrong.

I'm taking my car to the garage tomorrow because it is developing problems again. It has continually had problems for 2 years--ever since i bought it used from carmax. The last time they replaced the entire rear axel. This time, they didn't want to work on it even though I have an extended warranty. They told me to take it to a Fiat service center and they will honor my warranty.

One of these times that I take it to a service garage, I expect them to give me catastrophic news. One of these times I expect them to say the car isn't worth repairing.

I'm driving to my new apartment when I move--me and my cat will be in the car. I need the car to get there and not break down on the way. Once I'm there, I'll be driving a lot less.

This is my PTSD and my depression and my nerves and my chemical imbalance all working to make me feel this way.

I put in my change of address today. I just want it to be over. I don't want to make any mistakes, and I want to make it there.

Hello, I can tell you are thinking of everything which is normal and good to be prepared. I moved 30 times by the time I was 30 years old so I know about how it a little scary starting over - but I'm here to tell you that even when your out of your comfort zone you are fully present and you will do great!!~

I can tell you are preparing well. I hope your car holds up well for you. I think it will after the dealership has taken a look at it. I don't drive even 1/2 mile a day lol, I don't trust my car also. Sending strength and courage to help you face your bright future

Blessings, Day 😀

Thank you, Juli,

The car situation isn't going good. They told me it will cost $1700 to fix the car and the warranty won't cover any of it. They told me to take it back to Carmax and tell them 'they said they fixed it, and it isn't fixed, so fix it.' So I called carmax and did just that. Of course Carmax can't see me until next friday. I hate carmax. I honestly don't even want them to touch the car because I don't trust their work one second. They have worked on the same problem 7 times in the past 2 years. I'm going to tell them this time to either fix it for free or buy the car back for me at the same price I paid them for it. It's a piece of junk and their repairs are worthless.

But thank you for the support and saying that I seem prepared. If I have to pay for these cars repairs, I don't know if I'll be able to pay for school.

When I was in a simular situation, I would make lists of things I need to do and then prioritize those things and don't take no for an answer! You can complain to the state's lemon laws - Look them up and I think you will learn the process of the state forcing carmax to give you back all of your money.

Good luck today!!

Regards, Day

Sorry to hear you're finding your move so stressful! I'm moving in the middle of April so I feel quite anxious as well. I hope everything works out well for you and your journey to your new apartment goes smoothly 😊🙏
