BP,

I thought you posted yesterday about all the friends you have in the area. If you're down, call one of them.

As far as wanting to pay your own way, that is simply not realistic. Didn't you say yesterday that you had an overdraft? Keep your goals in mind, but you need to be realistic about your circumstances. And I take it that you defaulted on your student loans? In that case, you're not going to be able to get a place without a co-signer. Especially in this economy, everyplace does credit checks.

Instead of being terrified of staying there more than a month, can you think of ways to make it more bearable for everyone? It seems like the dynamic there is difficult for everyone, not just you.

I'm sure you'll feel better once some of your e-bay items start selling. You'll come out of all this a much stronger person. There are lots of lessons here to be learned -- you just have to do the work.

Don't let this negativity spiral you down. Do not.

Stacy
