Ok I have some good news first. I am able to keep my place for another month. My landlady is making a deal with me. I feel grateful but a little scared. Now, I have to find a job in a month's time. I am having a lot of agorapbobia when I'm in the car lately. The last time I did this was when I had an ear/sinus infection [which I'm known to get chronically]. I am scared I won't live up to the expectations my landlady have of me. She has been really good to me so far, I'm scared too if I get a job I will get sick like I did at my last job and lose it too. I am currently off Paxil [b/c I couldn't even afford the generic at the pharmacy the place I go for meds has] but I received some mail that I would be able to get either a really good discount or get them 4 free. I am feeling grateful about that. Today, I had to go to my counselor to let her look at my forms regarding the medicine waiver. The nurse practitioner said she would have to change me to Paxil CR. I've been on it before but my counselor and the nurse practitioner are worried about me taking it--I'm unsure why. She [the counselor] said I need to come back in a month to check on how I'm doing with the Paxil CR. Now, I'm overanalysising and what-if about taking the Paxil CR. I feel so silly.
Different subject, my father gave me a car for my college graduation last year. But, he never turned over the title to me. So, now my mother's car as went out and they are driving my car. I realize this was making me anxious b/c I felt my boundaries were being violated. My mother tried to defend the fact that someone had attempted to break into my car in my neighborhood. Well, the problem there is..the car was broken into years back and my father fixed the car where you can only get in on the driver's side [without a key]. So, surely someone in my neighborhood saw this and and went into my car..nothing was stolen but I'm REALLY ticked that my father and mother snacthed my car back without discussing it with me. I know what they will say: "well, since you weren't driving when you were sick and with the recent attempt to steal your car; we feel it would be safer to keep the car at our home". Am I being senstive or do I have a reason to be ticked?

ladyleo, Thats awesome you get to keep your place another month. Dont be afraid to get a job, it may actually help with the anxiety, ive known many people who say they do so much better with a job. im sorry a bout your car, and it is rather presumptous of your dad coming and taking your car, considering you need to look for a job. Mayb you could sit down and talk to your parents about that. I dont know, but its worth a try. Take careNelly
Wow. Yes, you have every reason to be ticked. Even if there was some sort of agreement before that the car was just for you to use and not to keep, it is still terrible that your dad would just take it.
