I moved recently, and let me tell you that from when I was young, I was always in a smaller town with smaller buildings and easy ways to get around. Well I moved to big city Vancouver with my boyfriend two weeks ago, and I don't think my anxiety about getting around the city could be any worse. I hate the fact of transit for hours and I hate how much money it is, when I don't have that money to spend.
I'm trying to look at the bright side of things, and trying to remind myself that it's just like my old home, just bigger, but it's so hard for me to go in blind with these things.

If anyone has tips for dealing with moving into a larger city, please tell me, because I can't seem to do it very well. I just want to feel okay with going on the skytrain and/or the bus and not getting lost. I just want to know where I am and where the buses are going and the routes they take. I'm trying really hard to just go with it and just learn but my anxiety kicks in and then I just shut down.

Maybe one day soon I'll just face my fear, but for right now, just learning my own little area is about as good as it's gonna get.

Please let me know if you all have any other ideas for me because I would love that.


Have a great weekend/week!

Toodle-doo!
