If anyone remembers all my long rants in the Reddit DT, I have some kinda good news about it.

Things at the hosue have been much more settled, it appears one of them (the main noisy one) will be moving out and back in with his family. He hasn't been here in about a month and a half, so things have been more chill. One of the others is just going about her life as usual. She tells and throws things once every day or two still, but not as bad as it was. And then the other one is still chill, he's never caused many problems

And on the lead tenant thing I mentioned a while ago, it seems things are going well. They lined up a house that sounds chill and I had my first meeting with the program coordinator on Tuesday. She gave me a rulebook I need to read, and then this coming Friday we meet with her again and I officially sign the papers. After that, it will be about 4-8 weeks until I move in.

It's still stressing me out a bit, mainly because I don't fit one of their requirements properly and I'm only about half fulfilling it. Allegedly they'll be pretty lenient on it, but lenient as in they'll accept me, but if I don't 100% meet it within a few months, I'll be locked back and sent back into Resi.

It's also kind of fucking with my head because I've been here for 4 years, and although I've never considered it to be, or felt that it is my home, that's the longest I've ever lived anywhere in my entire life. For about 3/4 of those years it's been pretty bleak living here and felt like a never ending nightmare, but now that it is ending and comparitively the end is so close I can basically touch it, it feels is backwards to what I'm used to

Change is always scary. But I am confident you can do this, and will succeed most excellently. Sending positive vibes. You can always drop in here for the purposes of ~~ranting and/or~~ complaining and/or celebrating.

Sending you good vibes! You seem like someone with a pretty good handle on their shit, although it may not feel like it, I reckon you'll be fine. But big change is always scary. Hopefully you get some stability.
