And in other news... |
....today I got a commitment letter for the mortgage for my house. Me!
I have a good credit rating! I can do this, I really can...
(Frankly, it scares the ***** out of me.)
There are still a few odd details before I can become an official
homeowner, but it should be happening within the next few weeks.
I don't know whether I should be talking about buying a house here on
ASD. I think it's relevant, because the people who've known me all six
years I've been around have seen me go from the depths of despair to
relative stability. Four years ago I was going in and out of the
hospital, trying to get control of this illness. Now I've got a job
and will soon have a house. This requires me to have confidence in
myself and hope for my future, something I didn't think was possible a
few years ago.
Does it give people hope, or drive them further into despair? When I
was the sad one reading other people's upbeat posts, it used to make
me feel worse. But when I was in a better state of mind, I loved
hearing other people's good news.

LOL I had a flashback to when I signed all the paperwork and became a
house owner! But congratulations. It is an enormouse step forward.

And then you get to decorate your own house the way you want it. I
loved this part. I had to do it slowly because of money but it weas
all the more fun that way. And paint is relatively cheap for the
impact it makes. It took me six months to get enough money to get the
sofa I wanteded {because I was determined not to go even more in debt}
but every time I sat on it, I got the "mine! All mine!" thrill!

Well, as you probably know, I am at this moment, not depressed but my
thoughts are that what upbeat stuff did for me back in the days when I
was in the pit was to basically feel "if she can do it, that, some
day, maybe so can I."
I LOVE hearing about your new house and I hope you write more.

About that other place...the Dreaded Yellow Box will be on my diary,
and I've been avoiding dealing with it. I suppose I should re-enlist
while I still can...
