Long road, long struggle to get housing has been over for a month. It took.... 608 days from becoming on the streets homeless (not even crashing couches) But I moved into my apartment on February 1st with help from a housing org!

Now what?

I literally feel feral, idk how to connect with people, lost most social skills from the sheer dehumanization and I dont leave my apartment much because I'm afraid ill lose it or won't be able to come back or some neurotic shit i cant help but to think.

I guess what im asking is; Formally unhoused loves of hexbear, what steps did you take to help get you back to "normal" social functioning/out of survival mode?
