...help...

Catty, sorry to hear you are going through such a fearful time right now, but I do agree with the others about you being the rock here. You were one of the first people I met by pm on here and I was always glad you cleared things up withme. So I'll be thinking of you throughout the night and day tomorrow. I know when the chips are down you will find the strength to rally to the challenge.

What really amazed me is the price you were paying for a 2 bedroom condo, out here this would be at least $900 and sometimes not all inclusive.

I know your real estate agent will give you his best advice and will help you through this rough spot.

Hi, everyone.

First - shepgirl, my mortgage for the condo is $569.00; the $320 maintenance fee is on top of that, so it is about $917.00. The taxes are inlcluded in the mortgage; heat and hot water in the fees (as well as snow removal, garbage pickup, etc). Electricity and cable TV are extra.

Sometime around 6 pm yesterday (Sunday), I found that "I" was back. That horrid distorted thinking that sat in my head like a steel cage and had me so horribly scared of everything had gone. WHEW!

I did some writing last night, and have been able to keep a good head on - today I even walked to a meeting and back, 15 minutes each way - it was a breakthrough as I haven't 'walked' in months.

Work today was ok...no panics on my part...I didn't come home all tense and stuff.

THANK YOU all for the support, and the phone call, and everything. I am working - like, homework! - on moving forward and REALLY taking care of myself. One day at a time.

OH - and I emailed my realtor and said "let's get me out of this place and find another one for me to live in"!

{{{{hugs}}}} to you all.
